I have listene to both an for me the ca was better. Sounding a ltle more detailed an a litle less atificial.

Some would say it can sound a litle bright but I doubt this will be the case with your amp.

For tha rest Its more a question of taste. an If I remember well the Marantez was also a little cheaper.

Good luck

The one you like the sound of best! They're both very good, it's down to your personal taste. If it were me, I would choose the CA simply because it matches the amp and can be controlled with the same remote!

Thanks a ton to Whiskywheels & Roby.

I will certainly go for CA...

In India, the price is almost the same.

But right now CA651 is available.

What is the basic difference between CA 650C & CA 651C.

Please help.... :help:

Ah well. Just to chuck a little confusion into the mix, I also auditioned the CA 650C and the Marantz CD6004. I much prefered the Marantz. http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/my-new-cd-player-marantz-cd6004

They're both good players, and the CA looks better, but to my ears (which is all that matters when it comes to music reproduction) the Marantz was clearly better. Have fun auditioning them.

What genre of music do you listen to?

Your interconnect, speaker cables and speakers are?

Your maximum budget?

What kind of presentation are you looking for the system to reproduce?

Hi!

Rick,

The details are as follos:- Jazz, Blues, Rock, Alternative...... That's my choice.

Amplifier is :- Cambridge Audio Azur 650A.

Interconnect :- QED Audio Performance 2.

Speaker Cable :- Norstone Classic.

Speaker Tower :- Wharfedale Vardus 300.

I require a balanced performance....The Mid, High and Low should be in level

 

[sumit.india]

Marantz CD6004 or Marantz CD5004

Please advice...... :roll:

 

[hortensio]

go for Maratnz C6004! I'm having a Marantz C6003 (partenered with NAD C355) and it sounds excellent!!!

however, duo azur 650 a+c also a great combo, hard to beat in terms of sound-stage....and you can use only one remote-control....but, you have to try and test which combo pair the best with your speakers and cables etc......

For what it is worth have you considered a music streamer as a source instead of a CDP, using your MAC or PC as a music server? CD is on borrowed time in my opinion. A dead medium before the decade is out.....

Thanks for your reply.

I would recommend the CD6004 as its overall fuller and fluid presentation should work well with your amp and speakers.

Hi,

I owned the ca 640c v2, great detail but after awhile I found it a bit bright for my tastes and on some music like jazz I found i became fatigued after 30minutes listening, so I sold it, great for rock and pop though.

I also own a marantz and have listened to the 6003 they tend to be a little more balanced tonally, and a little more natural and fluid in the mids, and generally are good allrounders with various types of music.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Steve.
