Maranta reference series! Marantz and Mcintosh and Denon are owned by same company and share technology! Even the lower end Marantz has its advantages! Marantz products arnt like in the the 60's and 70's , but their still quality!

pennsyMaranta reference series! Marantz and Mcintosh and Denon are owned by same company and share technology! That's no longer true. McIntosh was sold by D&M Holdings, who still own Marantz and Denon. Mac was sold to Fine Sounds, who also owned Audio Research. The company was then taken private and now calls itself McIntosh Group. |
spazTo get the very best out of RedBook (pcm), get a R2R Multibit player, like a Mark Levinson No 39, or a Linn CD12 MkI, II or III, or a Naim CD555 with or without 555 power base. All these have the proper Pacific Microsonic hdcd chip in them. My pick in order would be Naim then Linn the ML Cheers George |
kalali McIntosh Group consists of McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, Wadia and Sumiko. If you want to be complete, it also includes Pryma. |
