Marantz AV7005 - Manual (Page 10)

To faithfully reproduce a musical experience in the way that the original artist intended, to recreate the
atmosphere, the emotion and all of the nuances – requires a special CD player. And that’s exactly what you can
expect from the limited edition KI Pearl SACD Player. But as with the amplifier the quality of a CD player cannot be
judged by reading the specifications list. It requires careful listening. And that’s what Ken Ishiwata has done for
hours upon hours. Listening testing, reconfiguring. Searching for the ultimate combination of components.
The result is an SACD player with an ultra-realistic three-dimensional sound stage. Every instrument is positioned
with pin-point accuracy, and just as importantly they remain in their locations and never drift with increasing
volume. It’s a sound stage that also offers remarkable depth and height, allowing the vocals to be lifted over the
music for an extra-real reproduction of a live performance. It all adds up to a sublime musical experience filled
with emotion.

Only the best and finest components can reproduce music exactly the way the original artist intended.
Without any doubt, electronics is key. But it should be invisible, because nothing – absolutely nothing – should get
in the way of the music. This philosophy is alive and kicking like never before in this superb amplifier. What’s more,
invisibility means that it’s not about specifications such as main capacitor values. Specifications don’t say anything
when it comes to sound quality. What matters is the right combination of parts. It’s all about carefully selecting,
combining and testing all the components – as they work together. And only when each individual part works
in complete harmony with the rest can you be certain that they will perform invisibly. That’s true music in its
human form.
