I have a Marantz cd-6000ki, Marantz pm7200ki and Kef Q3 speakers. Although I am generally happy with the sound of my hifi, a couple of years ago my brother brought over a Cambridge 640 cd player and we did a comparison. Immediately, I noticed the sound to be more slightly more dynamic and tighter against a much softer sounding Marantz player. This led me to think that my cd player wasn't up to scratch. The thing is, if I was to replace my cd player with a new one, how much should I be spending to get a real improvement in sound quality? Would the new top budget cd players (Cambridge, Nad and Marantz) really be that much better or should I be spending a lot more and go for something in the Roksan / Cyrus price range? Any suggestions?
I like a range of music from classical, jazz to rock.
Thanks
