After 8 years heavy use my marantz cd7300, has started to misbehave :doh: . It refuses to read some discs but reads others, its not the CDs as some are newish with no scratches and they all play on the microsystem, I have cleaned the laser mech buts still get the same problem with some discs,
A new player is in order as repairs might cost nearly as much as my budget for a new player at £250, The obvious chioce is another marantz (cd6004), but would not visualy match the amp, However, the cambridge 351c is now available for the same price and is a worthy alternative according to WHF review, and has th same brushed aluminuim finish as my pm7001, Is this a decent player, i have just googled it for more information and was shocked to see that it looks pretty sparten on the inside, but does use a torodial power supply which seems odd for a cd player, . Has anyone heard this player , I understand Richer sounds will take it back anyway if I dont like the sound, Is it worth a try or should stick with marantz?
