| SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S? I am in the market for a transport and am very close to getting the CDT6000 until I came across scratch incidents from customers. Some even found the same phenomena on replacement units from their dealers. Check out posts by caesar94 and hero in ... | |

| 30 year old player, worth an upgrade? I’m still using a 1986 Denon 1500 and still sounds great! I have friends with newer CD players, only one can match the sound, most can’t compare. I attribute this to 1500’s Brown and Burr DACs !!@dgb553 I am sure the Denon must be very good. I le... | |

| 30 year old player, worth an upgrade? Why not keep the Marantz as a transport and put all your money into a separate DAC ? The CD40 does not have digital outputs. It is the cheapest Marantz player that has the TDA1541A chip. | |

Yes, nothing beats actually listening to the speakers to know how they sound. I guess I'd have to wait until this pandemic situation eases to a point where travel restrictions is lif... | |
