Has anyone got any comments/suggestions about my lack of interest in the cd6003 I've had for nearly 6 months now. I bought this following the fairly universal acclaim this cd player received mainly to make the most of the my cd collection I had been neglecting since getting back into vinyl a few years ago.
I've managed to get a pretty fun enjoyable system mainly consisting of a fairly basic: project debut upgraded with acylic platter and 2m blue, cambridge audio 640p phono, marantz av SR5003, mordaunt short mezzo 1's, anthony gallo due center and some rather cheap mordaunt shorts rears and a pretty ancient mission sub.
I hooked up the cd6003 with an atlas equator expecting loads of new life from my cds, instead it was all a bit well boring. Certainly there was more detail extracted out of the cds but after a few months of trying out a few cds of differing age and quality the cd6003 is slowly gathering dust while I went back to the records and having a laugh. It's since then had the final indignity of losing its attachment to the amp when I stole the equator for the turntable instead.
I've searched on the net for any disparaging comments on the cd6003 and found none. So whats going wrong? Should I try upgrading the mains supply? Should I try an attenuator? Certainly the PEAK display on the Marantz tends to go on and off like a Christmas light when playing most cds; but I don't find much difference when the internal attenuator is turned on or off. Is this to do with system matching and the cd6003 is just too well behaved and polite for my tastes? Am I just expecting too much from a basic cd player in comparison with vinyl and need to spend £600 plus instead. Have I just become too prejudiced against cds? Should I just flog it on ebay and buy more records instead? Do I ask far too many questions in succession?
Anyway I would enjoy any comments suggestions about my dilemma and/or my overuse of the quesion mark. The last paragraph reads back like the end of a Batman episode. I don't, however, recall an episode when Batman had problems with his Hi-fi system.
