Anyone Use A CD Recorder For Main Play Back?


Is this audio blasphemy? My Marantz Sa-14 is still down as I wait to see if the part pointed out to me by another member will work. In the meantime I have been using my CD recorder for play back. It's a Marantz Professional CDR-500 and I'm shocked how good it sounds. I'm wondering if I should put the SA-14 (TRL modified) up for sale! Most likely I've forgotten how great the SA-14 really is and yes it sounds better but frankly I think I could live with what I have now. Am I nuts? Does anyone have a similar experience? Anyone have this player? I'll look forward to responses. Thanks.

i used a philips cdr 765 as a main cdp (both with and without a dac) for quite awhile and really liked it--read everything i threw at it + i could play two discs in succession. well built, nice sounding unit.
