I am thinking of options for a good cdp.
I have the funds to enable me to purchase a Japanese Marantz cdp SA11s3. SACD feature is no a mandatory feature of my need although it will be good to have going forward.
My collection consists largely of ordinary Cds so I do not want where possible to purchase a duplicate set of albums in SACD.
I am therefore thinking of either buying a NEW marantz SA11s3 or a USED AMR CD77 or a Reimyo CDP777 . I am thinking in this direction because I want to maximise the SQ from my colletion of redbook cds.
Apart from difficulty in getting repairs and parts for the 2 old brands, is there a common understanding/agreement that the 2 used cdp brands is very much superior in SQ for red-book cds compared to the marantz ?
I need advice on these 3 options.
Please avoid the introduction of other brands .
Thank you.
