Superphon Revelation II Preamp with Phono Stage
The Counterpoint has no volume control, but has a gain of 30db which is about 4 db higher than average. The Superphon line stage gain is 20db which is also higher than average. You are pairing a high gain amp with a high gain pre and the result is...

Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement?
Brian is alive and still living in South Jersey. He currently has some Denon gear for sale at USAUDIOMART and his screen name is mrchips. That was his screen name on Audiogon as well. If you check my feedback you'll see I bought from him in 2004. ... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
Right now I'm using #2. I tried them both and quite frankly I didn't hear much if any diference. You said the player runs on the warm side. Do you mean how the music sounds or the actual temperature of the player? The reason I'm asking is because ... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
This is the note that I sent in with the repair.   When the unit is first turned on the drawer won’t open and the display won’t go through the usual cycling routine. The display just reads “Disc”. It takes between 5 and 10 minutes and can tak... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
To be honest at this point I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping it would be at least as good as my SA11s3 if not a little better.The Ruby doesn't sound bad, it just doesn't seem to be as open and transparent as the SA11s3. Maybe I'm expecting t...

Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
I just got off the phone with Marantz USA and Music Direct. Marantz said it was 5 years for everything including the laser. That didn't sound right. It's usually 5 and 3. When I told them about the enclosed warranty info saying the warranty was 3 ... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
Did the warranty info sheet say 3 years?  
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
I read the same things you read before I placed the order. I just re-read the warranty info that came with the Ruby and it says 3 years parts and labor. It doesn’t mention Reference gear at all. My SA11s3 came with 5 years on the unit and 3 years ... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
I stand corrected on the Marantz warranty. It looks like the Marantz Reference still carries the 5 year (3 year on laser assemblies) warranty. The warranty information enclosed with my Ruby says 3 years on both. I guess the Ruby isn't considered p... 
Marantz SA-KI Ruby SACD Player
The Ruby arrived today and so far so good. It replaced a Marantz SA11s3 (which up to that point was the best CD player I ever had) that after 8 years finally died. I sent it to United Audio which is the factory authorized service center for Marant... 
Revel F228be- will my amp be enough?
I have the same amp as you (Marantz PM11s3) driving a pair of Raven Audio Celest' Towers (90 db 4 ohms). I'm in a 20X14 room with 7' foot ceilings and the amp has no trouble driving the Ravens. I like to let it rip once in a while and the Marantz ... 
VPI's website down
Is the VPI forum still down? When it first went down I was getting the "404" message. When I go there now all I'm getting is a blank page. When I accessed the forum from the VPI website I get the same blank page. Am I missing something? Thanks.
