Need help on a CD player
I just spent $550.00 on an Emotiva ERC-4. I too looked at the Marantz CD6006 as a replacement for my Carver TL3200 (in which the transport finally went T-up, butt-down), the problem with Marantz right now is the supply chain has been somewhat interupted due to the Virus pandemic. The Emotiva is here in the USA (Tennessee) so the ship time is 3-4 days vs 3-4 weeks, if not longer. |
@kiteflyer45 preface, other than being an occassional customer of Music Direct I have no other "afflilation" Don't know if you'd be interested but MusicDirect has the Marantz CD6006 - factory refurbished - in stock https://www.musicdirect.com/disc-player/Marantz-CD6006-CD-Player-B-STOCK They also have the Rega Apollo in stock which is a little bit above your top end for price https://www.musicdirect.com/disc-player/Rega-Apollo-2017-CD-Player |
There’s a Cambridge 851C on here and pretty sure seller is motivated to sale as its listed elsewhere. I have a 851C and an Oppo UDP 205 and the Cambridge is better. I use my 851C as a DAC as well for my Bluesound Vault 2 which it’s DAC is substantially better than the DAC in the Vault. The 851C is damn good. As far as the Marantz CD6006, it’s not as refined as the Cambridge; it’s a good player but it is not up to the task (yes I’ve listened to one) and the 851C has digital in w/various inputs, single and balanced out and can be used as preamp out with your digital sources. The CD6006, besides sound quality, can’t compete. |
