marantz cdr500 recorder/playback quality


I've heard alot of great things about this Marantz recorder. Is anyone familiar with the quality of the playback? Thanks.

I have owned the CDR 500 for nearly a year; and have to
say that I have found the playback to be pretty decent.
However, I am using it in a professional media duplication
studio - and to be perfectly honest - I am much more
concerned with the CD recording quality it produces. And I
suspect most people who own this CD recorder pay a lot
more attention to the quality of the CD it records than
the playback quality.
I do have to say that this unit has performed very
well for me. I can play CD-Rs recorded on this unit in just
about every CD player I know of - and they sound very good.
I suspect there are better audiophile type CD players out
there that have better sounding playback - but as mentioned,
that is not the reason most people buy the CDR 500.
