Marantz build quality (Japan) is truly excellent in their price class relative to most other brands. Marantz disc players' circuit design is well laid out and their sound is remarkably musical in their price class. I don't know of another player in the 6006 price class that would better it.
Advice re CD Player upgrade requested
So I have upgraded all the components in my 2 channel system recently.The only thing left is the CD player.Replacing a 20 year old Sony ES 5 disc carousel unit.Still sounds pretty good.
My budget I know is "low" for this forum but I would like to keep it between $400-1K.
Not thrilled with the Rega player as it does not fit ergonomically into my audio rack.
Right now I'm considering the Marantz CD 6006 the cheaper 5005 or if I can get my dealer to give me some discount maybe the Musical Fidelity M3scd.
Don't care for Cambridge audio.
My dream CD player would be either a Bryston or MCIntosh player.My amp is the McIntosh MA 252.
Any other alternatives in the 'Low/mid price" category?
Thanks all!
Gabe

@gabor2525. I just recently replaced an 8 year old MacBook Pro with a new one. The difference in performance, speed especially, is amazing. The improvement in the processing of your music with a new player with current technology processing chips alone should be remarkable. You'll notice the difference in the little details and soundstage. You will enjoy the "realness". Go for it! |
