Hi, I've just recently bought a mint Sony CDP 561E which I'd intended to replace my Marantz CD52MKII which had developed a fault. However since getting it, typically the 52 has decided to behave itself. This has lead me to constantly swopping between both CDP's in order to establish which sound I prefer. To my ears I think the 52 has the Sony beaten. But now I'm unsettled and am contemplating buying a CD52MKII SE. I've also resorted to swopping my tuners (Marantz and Sony). The Marantz wins again. Now I changed my speakers a while ago from Mission 70MKII's to KEF Coda 9's, problem is I still Have the Missions and am resisting the temptation to try them again with the Sony CDP. What's wrong with me ....is this what being 'into hifi' is like or do I need to send for the looney tune brigade. I've advertised both Sony items and the Missions in an effort to rid me of this evil curse but am currently going cold turkey. PS: Just remembered I've also got 2 different kinds of speaker cables..........Oh noooooooo !
