Thanks for your comment but I love the sound with my speakers and the MF amplifier and CD player - when it's all working of course. Do you not like the focal speakers I have?

Hi. I did check with old Sony amp I had in loft - that sounds fine something seemed to happen just after I inadvertently played a dual disc in CD player, although I don't see how that could have affected anything. It's very frustrating as for two weeks I was getting a great sound I have been...

Bought a Google chrome cast as a cheap way of trying streaming. Good to listen to lots of new music. However I am a bit of a dinosaur I suppose and Still prefer the physical product that I own and can read sleeve notes etc. It took me years to move from records to CD.

Hi. The sound suddenly became harsh and loss of bass. I posted amp back to dealer who cannot hear anything wrong - I suspect something happened during transit loose connection somewhere?? The dealer has kindly sent It back to manufacturer for investigating and testing.

Finished up with Musical Fidelity M6scd - superb match and great sound for two weeks - Trouble is amp now gone faulty so back to Musical fidelity for repair

Generally find the sound of marantz ok but is now noisy - I presume it is something to do with the mech that spins the discs - can hear it over quieter bits of music. Ready for a change I think - it is 15 or so years old. Thanks Peter

I now have a different amp - is the Musical Fidelity M6si. My speakers are Focal Chorus 836vw Cheers Peter

Finally in a position to replace my ageing Marantz Cd 63 mk 11 KI Signature cd player Budget limited so looking at second hand I think. I love the amp so is the matching M6scd a good bet? or Naim cd5xs maybe*unknw*? I listen to a lot of different styles but mainly rock/blues Thanks for your help

Dealer has given me an Arcam A39 as a replacement. Has taken some running in but after a month nice sound but not quite as good as M6i (when it was working) although a better bass I think. It seems no fault was found with m6i but a part was replaced as a precaution(couldnt tell me which one)...

Thanks to all for your input - I will let you know the outcome of the checks by Musical Fidelity

Hello Chris - thanks for the concern but it is not mains wiring. It is the cable connecting the amp to the subwoofer.

Yes indeed - you are right - they are the cable linking the sub at high level via a neutrik connector.

I didnt know whether to laugh or cry - sure as hell made me jump when it happened, hence the rapid movement away at end of video*yahoo*

The speakers are new - however I put on another pair last time it happened and it did same to them also Thanks peter
