    Marantz M-CR510 experience

    Hi, what is the file system on your hard drive - FAT32 or NTFS? If it's NTFS, convert it to FAT32. That may solve the problem. Hope that helps.

    Acoustic Energy 101: how do these sound?

    Hi, guys! These speakers have been getting some good reviews, so the question is, are they worth considering? How do they stack up against their peers in the budget price range? Which amplifier would match them best, considering their 87 db sensitivity? Are there any amplifiers that are known...

    Marantz M-CR 610 vs. budget separates

    I wish M-CR610 had some digital outputs - that would enable it to be used as a transport so one could hook up a better DAC to it (if need be). Otherwise, not much room for upgrade.

    MARANTZ MCR610 power output

    Of course, you're right but it all boils down to what you're comparing it to. The combo you suggested is bound to sound just as "weak and not convincing" compared to more pricey gear. You seem to forget that many people are not into hi-end at all and just want a reasonably priced good-sounding...

    Hi guys, my first post here! I've been considering Marantz M-CR610 for my small bedroom (which is about 13 x 10 feet in size). But I wonder if there's any talk of its possible upgrade in the nearest future - with more advanced features and parameters. Suppose I buy this one and next thing I...
