I love my SA8005. It has a very solid feel to it. I originally picked it up to play SACD disks that I own but I find I also enjoy spinning my Redbook disks. I am really enjoying playing disks again. Originally I did not believe I would be playing disks much, but wanted to be able to play the SACD disks that I have purchased. I wanted a better music only player and a few people suggested the Marantz. I love the players controls and the sound is superb!
