Marantz SA-11S1 and transport noise.


I just received my Marantz SA-11S1. The first thing which I recognized is the rather loud noise which comes from the transport/laser when I play a SACD/CD. I was wondering if this is normal. I have an older Sony which is dead quiet. Perhaps this is normal with the newer units.

Some of the modders out there damp the transport as part of their routine. You might want to look over your transport and see if you can apply damping material inside to lessen the 'noise'.

If you can could you report back in a couple of months as to how things worked out. I am interested in how it settles down after break-in.
