Marantz SA-7S1 SACD Player
Reviewer: AVguide1 week agoWhich brings us finally to the question of value. The SA-7S1 is a beautifully built and presented player. It’s versatile and it’s operationally really well sorted.

Truth be told, despite Marantz’s legendary status as a hi-fi pioneer, I never considered them a “true” audiophile brand. Every product I heard from them up until the SA-1 CD/SACD player left me a little ambivalent—definitely good stuff, and mostly good value, but not nearly what I’d call state of the art. Snobbish? Maybe. But that’s how I heard it at the time. Read more
