New CD Player

Good afternoon,

 

Quick question.  I have a Cary Audio CDP 1 cd player that is about 10-12 years old.  Still works and sounds good.  Being that is a bit dated, I thought about the new Marantz CD 60 cd player.  Any thoughts on how that might compare to the Cary and would it be an upgrade.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.  This Cary cd player I own, CDP 1, is a solid state piece.  It is the non-tube version of the 300/300 I believe.

You might be hard pressed to hear any difference.

Only you can determine what features are important.

All CD players sound the same 🤦‍♂️😳. Digital. Zeroes and ones . It either works, or it doesn’t (no sound). Nothing in between 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it would be an upgrade. Order from a dealer that has a return policy just in case. Check out the video review here:

@thyname : no need to throw shade! My Marantz CD67 died recently. I will buy and install a new laser. I have not yet unpacked the Samsung DVD HD841. Anyway, I have several more working CD and DVD players on hand. I actually do have way too much tube gear - both HiFi and guitar! Including a nice ARC SP6/D75 pair, a pair of Paoli Dynaco MkIII's, a pair of Heath W5's and three Julius Futterman OTL amps!
