Hello,
Hoping someone can offer some help. I think I may struggle to demo either of these with my current speakers and amp, so am looking for some advice.
I'm moving on from a Marantz DV4100OSE, which I've been pretty pleased with, and am thinking I'll probably go for separate Blue-Ray and CD players, as while I think a decent Blue-Ray player will beat the Marantz for DVD, they may well struggle with CDs.
I've currently got a Marantz SR6001 and (full) Tannoy Arena, but can imagine in a few years' time upgrading and spending a fair bit, maybe with specific music components. I like a full, clear, full, detailed sound, and look out for good instruments, mid-range, and voices on songs, plus good attack at high frequency, like the violins in Style council's "Shout to the Top", and an ability to do good base on things like Groove Armada's "Superstylin'".
Having a look, I think stuff like the Regas Apollo is overkill at the moment, but the CD6002 (£200) looked very good, and would probably last me for a few years. However, the CD6s is now available for £400, and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra outlay in terms of sound quality, given my preferences? Also, is its lack of HDCD a worry?
I'm also thinking the CD6s is more future proof in terms of upgrading my other pieces of kit, and is also upgradeable, so should last me longer.
Wondering if anyone has any advice on these players, or thinks I'd be better looking at something different altogether?
Any opinions much appreciated.
