I second the idea of getting the Marantz out of the chain. I used a Marantz 7001 AVR as a preamp for a long time, and when I finally got a real two-channel integrated (Cambridge 850A v2) it was like someone took a blanket off my speakers.
Upgrade CD, New CD or Universal Player?
I have an ARCAM CD72 and a Marantz 6005 AVR driving it. Got new B&W 683's but do not hear a huge difference when playing CD's. Is it better to upgrade the CD72, get a new CD player or go with a universal player? I have read good things about the OPPO BDP 95 (we have a BDP 93 for home cinema). Thanks for advice.
