Also spot on Don't mean to be an echo but Graphs and specs will only get you so far, the former graphs I've found to be of no use for anything to the consumer. Specifications on the other hand are a must in weeding out the obviously unsuitable ie a 45 watt speaker wouldn't be enough for loud...

Bang on If you can't demo them walk past and try something you can, especially when spending big never buy blind/deaf it's inviting problems.

I've touched on my introduction to hifi it a few times, so in view of (trying 😊) not to bore you as with many of the members I've had all sorts from a kid. From the joint farther, son hobby in repairing bootsale HIFI's coincidentally around the time people where getting rid of quality hifi for...

Erm 😂 "Et tu brute" Only recently I must to admit I swapped a worryingly thin, but fine free digital coxail that came with the Marantz knowing the on/off nature of digital holistically doesn't respond near as much as analogue to cable differences, swapping to the overly thick hard to bend but...

Well I did once use hair thin pound shop speaker cable in a jam once and it really burn out in the middle 😂 I remember it well as instead of giving in I twinned it up, twisting each end together all to get my tannoy M15's going back in my early yoof. Those where the days, just excited about...

Absolutely likewise 🤝 I noticed early on as my generation experienced the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon with social media towards the last yr of secondary school with it's resulted popularity explosion birthing many a back then "Keyboard Warrior" later to be tagged with the ever more used term 🧌...

👍 Good advice,It will be my future option. Honestly I don't know how more than fairly demoing to a clearly stated opinion in good fun devolved to sniping. I fully get why my goto at the local HIFI store said he avoids the forums despite his knowledge because of the arguing, I shouldn't of got...

[ Is that what you tell her 🤣 As your bordering on the line of getting personal anyway, I thought a joke might clear the air

You keep going in circles 🤦 I'm unsure if it's to try and gain traction with people new to the thread who haven't read my prior messages or not so I will bulletin the finer points. (I'm not however "Trolling "which seems to be a very apt word to use through my prior posts to quote myself again)...

Dude read the posts. It's making me 😬 Everything you say was more than covered yet your stuck reiterating meaningless things to a holistic blind test of a CD PLAYER against another CD PLAYER. I bid you good morning I'm in a rush but the CDP wouldnt be being tested if they where altered in ANY...

I beggining to think you've read NONE of my post now 😂 Short of quoting myself (and I haven't the time at the minute) I did all the above AND more than ticking every hurdle you seem to want to throw Infront of a clean test without bias . I even used the Hegal remote to avoid identifying each...

👍 However as per the other posts fully covering the non bias reasoning and fairness in testing culminating in the giving of my "opinion" and not feeling the need to defend myself, yet as I'm sure it's all in good fun so will further add- It is indeed an "Instantaneous" switching A to B using...

👍I get your point, although on the contrary the CD 60 infact nestles in-between the CD 52 MK2 being the lowest at a standardised 2 V-rms and the CD 6007 having the highest output voltage 2.4 all within 0.2v of each other in a kinda tasty Marantz sandwich with the two budget players both new and...

👍😁Talking missions I'm on restoring a pair of 763i to snug back up to the pioneer a400 and Marantz CD 52 MK2 CDP that took a long route of demoes and a more than a few in-between players of all kinds to finally get a noticeable, although subtle improvement I could say was actually there which...
