I had a Marantz SA 14 v.2, two channel, (Vandy 3a sigs fed into a Musical Fidelity A308 with Audioquest cables with the silly little batteries. Then went to 5 channel with a Sony XA777ES and added Vandy center and surrounds), listened intently for a little less than a year with these players. For a month or two I went back to two channel on the Sony, and directly after that I purchased a VPI Scoutmaster, and was given a Nottingham Horizon turntable, as a loaner until the VPI arrived.I listened to the Channel Mahler recently on a Sony DVP NC685V, a $250 SACD player that got rave reviews in TAS(?) re: all things musical, in two channel with the Audioquest cables. Broken in for 200 hours. I hope no one gets hung up on this player's price or suspect quality. I made my original decision comparing a $1600 Nottingham turntable with an originally $3500 SACD player.
