Marantz 5001 cd player


Does anyone know if the Marantz 5001 cd player has a detachable powercord?
Also how does it stack up against other budget players?
I know Marantz has replaced it with the 5003, but I understand that 5001 at least outperforms the 5003 from some of reviews I have read. I would like to here from owners of the 5001 though.

I used to own a Marantz cd5001, a very nice player, smooth and organic sound. It does not have a detachable powercord. I believe it's replacement though, the cd5003, does have a detachable powercord.

For what it's worth, when I called Music Direct asking about the new cd5003 and how it compared to the older cd5001, I was told that the cd5003 was significantly better. I ended up going in a different direction so I never got to compare them with my own ears though.
