Marantz SA-11s1

Original owner of this player in silver finish. I've rated it an 8/10, primarily due to a couple of light scratches on the remote (see photo) - the player itself is in excellent condition. This has been my reference player in several different systems (both solid-state and tube) all having quality components (such as Audio Note, KEF, Audio Research, ProAC, Conrad-Johnson) and it has sounded great in all of them. I have to consolidate systems and so, reluctantly, listing the player for sale.

I have the original packaging, remote, power cord and manual (in as-new condition).

Accept PayPal (buyer pays the 2.9% fee) or certified/bank check. Can pick up in person in SF bay area as well.

The Marantz SA-11S1 CD/Super Audio CD player is impressive in every way - looks, construction, and most importantly, performance. Featuring carefully matched internal components in a rock-solid copper-plated chassis, it delivers the kind of clean, detailed stereo sound that lives up to Marantz's reputation among audiophiles.

The precision disc playback mechanism rests on its own stabilizer plate, ensuring absolute accuracy reading your discs, with virtually no vibration. A specially designed transformer provides ample power to the player without generating performance-robbing interference. The SA-11S1's internal circuitry is laid out to minimize signal paths, preventing sound degradation.

The player easily handles the expanded audio range of SACDs, delivering all of the rich sonic detail they contain, and the difference you'll hear in your standard audio CDs is just as remarkable. With its super-accurate playback and minimal signal degradation, the SA-11S1 brings out nuances and tonal shades that are simply lost with lower-quality players.
