In Reply to: RE: Anyone actually heard the Marantz SA 10? RIQUE said he has one, but posted by oldmkvi on March 03, 2017 at 09:54:03
Anyone find the SA-10 at a dealer/retailer?

After some delay, I finally collected my SA10 this afternoon. Initial impression is that it is excellent in both CD and SACD playback. It is extremely smooth, and in fact sounded very analog in both CDs and SACDs. There is no grain at all from what I have heard. In my setup, it does surpass my CD7 in CD playback, contrary to what some others have heard - this I am very sure. I will let it runin 1st in the next few days. So far it is less than 10 hrs and I am very impressed already. Time to retire my CD7 :)

Thanks! for sharing- Annapurna
where did you purchase your SA-10?
Hi Fantja, I am from Singapore and a friend bought it from Hong Kong for me while on holiday there. This morning, I had a long listening session confirming what I heard last night, both with SACD and CD. I heard on CDs the following - The Best of Earl Klugh, Sundance Flamenco by James Bohchak, Otmar Liebert Noveau Flamenco, Kraftwerk Live 3D, Nathan East Reverence. On SACD, I tried with Diana Krall The Girl in the Other Room, Natalie Cole Ask A Woman Who Knows, Chris and Friends (Mandarin disc), Norah Jones Come Away With Me, Tsai Chin (Mandarin Disc). Disc after disc, the SA10 never fail to impress me. The low level resolution, the ultra low level of noise is just eerie. On Kraftwerk and Earl Klugh, the bass extension just go real low and taut and not boomy. Will update when I try the digital input.

any updates -Annapurna?
Hardly any updates, I suspect some are not too happy with the SA-10, I would bet that you are not going to buy one.
October is here -Disbeliever! Where is Frank I ?
Frank I is the editor of headphone.guru, his comments on the SA-10 will probably appear there.
Sure hope so- Disbeliever.
He has dicked us around long enough!
Not without an audition.
TY- Annapurna for your listening thoughts/impressions.
Keep listening and writing until I can get an audition.
