Entry CD player question?


If you look at my system you'll see what I have to help me decide on a CD player.

I can't help wonder about my stereo receiver's matching Rotel RCD1072 single disc player, instead of the Marantz which was the top 5 disc player at the time. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Much appreciated,

I have a marantz cd6004 and it has served me well. My components are comparable to yours, I doubt you would see a decisive difference. 

The big one I noticed is resale value, Rotels go for about 50% than Marantz CD players. 

Obviously you have an itch, no decent 2 way system should have a multi-disc CD player in it!

Well, not so much to suggest a machine as to show what some recent affordable players ' interiors look like.  I was helping a friend out by putting together an audio system for a lakefront home that he and his significant other purchased to eventually retire to.  These are interiors of four players at different price points and I have to say, they are rather sparse-looking compared to machines from previous decades.

Thanks all. I’m thinking of replacing Marantz w/ matching Rotel RCD1072, if better, not some other brand, or I'll just keep my Marantz.
