tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 hi guys i'm looking for a new CD player priced around s$300 - $350 i think the C521BEE is a little over this, so wondering is it worth paying that little extra or can i get somthing as good or better for my budget? i think there is another model just below this, but can't remember the model no.

N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Isn't this the succesor to the C521i? Supposedly marketed at the same price yet yielding a bigger improvement in sound & gives big brother C541i a run for it's money which itself gets a remake to C542. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 tropicrip: at that price range, marantz cd6000OSELE is worth to look at. Have you tried comparing the 2? hm besides you might want to try and look out for used marantz cd7300.. I think they will be just arpound that price(maybe slightly more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 ok i never tried a marantz before... also looking at the Tascam models, the lowest being CD166 its rack-mount ready so i can put it together with my other studio gear in a 19" rack (more gear looks cool too) but i don't a rack yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Look like U lean towards pro gears and pro series of Denon and Marantz cdps spring to mind (they come with mounting ears). However, they are nowhere near your budget of $300-350. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 yes mackie i think only the Tascam CD166 is rack mount in this price range, Denon & Marantz pro series price is way too high for me any coments on the CD166? but i still prefer the clean design of NAD, simple layout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Sorry, I have no experience with Tascam. However, I had auditioned Marantz Pro PD321 and Denon. I think u can buy these for $500-700. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
