Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

This post made me wonder - is there anyone under 40 on this forum?
🤣

I highly doubt it. I was 28 when I first joined I am now 46. 🙂

Get a new house + famous studio tour + speaker manufacturer R7D visit, so then you can indulge in an ultra exquisite soundstage at your new home on the weekend just like in the studio

Well my Marantz CD63SE arrived yesterday by surprise next day delivery....and very pleased.
I thought I might be taking a bit of a risk with the age of this unit (from approx. 1995) but the E Bay seller has very good feedback with lots of other serviced quality gear for sale so I decided to take the plunge and glad that I did. I wondered if I might need to use an external DAC to get a good sound from it but no, the sound is amazing direct from the analogue outputs. The drawer mechanism is quick and quiet and it reads discs instantly, possibly even quicker than my CD6007. Happy days!

I don't think DACs have actually improved all that much, and in fact I often find myself preferring the sound of older CD players using their analogue outputs. The CD63SE is a fine machine, and I don't think it needs any external assistance.

If same cartridge was used on both then probably not.....
