I had mine for perhaps 5 years. At the time it bested ( to me only) all manner of CD players costing up to $4000 or so. My unit had additional power supply and output cap mods that I did and it also had Paul’s battery power supply added.
Now this player sounds very at ease and warm with a definite personality which may not be exciting enough for some. It is the antithesis of bright or edgy. Perhaps too dull for some. Paul modified the Marantz unit for those who wanted more top end emphasis and sparkle.
