as far as i know, the list price for the marantz sa-1 in this country is $7500. in japan i understand it lists for the equivalent of $6000. i paid in the mid-$6000's for the marantz. i had been hot on the sony scd-1 since it had come out but ultimately decided to wait for the second generation machine. when the marantz was announced it looked like it was, at least on paper, a little more developed design. so i pre-ordered it from a dealer i have done previous business with. i was comfortable with the price based on a brand new product at introduction. i am in the retail business and i like a good buy as well as the next guy, but i also value relationships. i have been a good customer and have also recieved special treatment that can come from that from time to time. as far as the linn cd-12, i traded in the levinson 37/36s on the linn and paid a little more than a $10k difference.my wife agrees with your inference that maybe i have spent to much $ on this crazy hobbie. but if i had similar $ invested in a sailboat or summerhouse it might be more respectable but would not offer me as much daily enjoyment as my 5 years as a learning audiophile. anyway, i guess i don't need to convince anyone here on this issue.
bottom line...i believe both products have given me good value for my money. mikel
