Hi All,
I've recently purchased a new CD player as my old one was jumping and skipping, (that was the excuse needed to go shopping)!
The thing is, after plugging in the new kit, and comparing it with my old player, I'm really struggling to hear a significant improvement in sound quality.
This is not a post to say that I'm unhappy with the sound of my system, quite the opposite. Its just a general muse as to why I'm struggling to hear the expected improvement.
My system is as follows:
Marantz CD63SE
Arcam Diva A85 Amp
Tannoy DC6T Speaker (biwired).
I purchased a Cyrus CD8X as a replacement, (ebay bargain!), and whilst I still thoroughly enjoy my system, I was a little disappointed not to hear a significant improvement.
Question is, should I give up on looking to improve my system any further, as my ears are obviously duff, or is the rest of my system not letting the new CD player, 'sing', to its full potential? Or lastly was the Marantz a bit of a gem that punched above its weight back in the mid 90's?!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
