If you can stretch your budget just a little bit, you can get a used Marantz SA-11S1. This will be just the ticket. A wonderful, non-fatiguing player with all the details of natural instruments present.
looking for good detailed and warm player
Hi all,
I'm in "UPGRADE" season :)
RIght now im running Sonus Faber Extrema with Meridian 557 and PRE 502(also Meridian).
The PRE and Power hooked by XLR (both Balanced).
My previous CD was Arcam (A9) but I felt my sys needs more.
The meridian 557 has a great power , and there's great details from the PRE but somehow some warm and more "round" sound is missing,I also thought about change the PRE to some nice tube PRE like Audio Research (LS17 or SO16),
but I'd like to start from the source.
any idea?
Thanks in advance
