Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.?

Some people claim it is still a benchmark.
Others say not so.
I would do some searches here and at Audio Asylum Hi Rez and see what you come up with.

Thank you Lkdog! Bob

Recently upgraded to a SA11s1 from a Sony DVP-S9000ES (DVD SACD) + Ultralink 2 combo... Redbook is terrific and SACD is first rate as well. especially fed by a PS Audio P500 regenerator.

Baranyi-

Not sure if you thought my post was useless :) but there are people who come on here who claim the SA 1 is better than anything-even a TRL modded SA14 (which you are familiar with).
Others think it was overpriced and over engineered for the end sound you get.
I have no idea.
Ask Paul at TRL-he may have had one come through the shop.
I see you are onto something else. Let us know how it works out.

would'nt touch it if it delivers the goods..
