    Question Older Marantz CDP vs newer models

    I have an echo dot connected to the amp via a 3.5mm to 2 phono and use this for amazon music and the amp has internet radio - this will probably sound silly but I don't understand the need for a separate streamer there obviously is a good reason to have one but why I don't know anything about these

    Question Older Marantz CDP vs newer models

    Hi, I have a 30 odd year old Marantz CD6000 OSE Ltd. Ed CDP and was wondering how it compares to the up to date players like the Marantz CD6006 UK ED? It would be difficult for me to audition the two side by side. I have a Denon AVR-X2300W and Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers - I was wondering...

    Marantz CD Player choice

    I had to buy a new Panasonic DMP BDT180 to replace the old model as it just gave up playing discs. I can only connect it to my amp via the HDMI cable. Is this a good solution to use as a cd transport or would I be better connecting my older Pioneer DV565A to the amp via a digital audio cable...

    Thanks for the advice guys - I'll either not bother or get the 5005 if it is reduced any further - the problem with the remote control seems to be within the cd player not the remote control unit according to my friend who is a trained audio engineer. I think the 6006se is too expensive for my...
