Marantz CD 6000 OSE

Great but should have RCA this Marantz CD 6000 OSE. But for a person who love his music loud this is great!

I am very happy with the Marantz CD 6000 OSE CD player. I looked at some really expensive stuff at Mike Manning HiFi in Taunton before getting real with myself and deciding to start a little lower down the market before working up. After a bit of research and a dalliance with a garish looking TEAC, I settled on the 6000 OSE Limited Edition SE.

Really solid feel to the unit, quality feel to the buttons, handy built-in analogue amp...first impressions were very favourable. The remote control is a bit on the dinky size, but no matter.

Connected it all up and went through the recommended ritual of playing it continuously for a good 8 hours to break it in. Thereafter it's excelled in reproducing excellent quality music of various genres; everything from Chic to whatever classical I liked back then. Very, very good. It does it's best work with the analogue amp turned down mid way. Left on full power it's a little overpowering.

3 years down the line and it's all been good, with no problems at all. It's a really good CD player for a very good price.
