Hi Peter,
None taken... I have never heard the SA-1, but I hope to one day. I have heard several other Marantz players, all have a deep 3-D soundstage, which I enjoy. The OP seems to want to keep the Marantz tonality while moving the soundstage more forward.
That's why I suggested trying a different power cord. FWIW, Don just sold a used 6 ft PowerWave for $65. Keep your eyes peeled, you can find them. Virtual Dynamics Power 3's are much easier to find for under $100.
I'd be interested in reading your findings of the SA-1 vs. the Accuphase DP-67.
Cheers,
John
