hi all,
i am about to buy a dedicated CD player, which is either Marantz CD 6003 or CD 6004. I believe sound quality is about the same. Was thinking to buy CD5004 but when I auditioned CD 5004 vs CD 6004 last week, the 6004 clearly won.
CD6003 is manufactured in China. Whilst CD 6004 is manufactured in Japan. Does it make any difference in construction quality? (the price difference for 6004 is 33% more expensive than 6003). Does the increased quality justify the price premium? Or Marantz has similar quality regardless of the country of manufacture?
I am willing to pay the premium if the durability also increased, so perhaps I can have 10 years of trouble free CD player, but I have no clue. Would appreciate any comments.
thanks,
