Brandon.lim 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 In this price range, I think a Marantz CD5400 would be good value for money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonT 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 any recommended place to get it and the exact price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 KEC at Adelphi (opp Funan Ctr) used to sell CD5400 at $399. Not sure what's the latest price but U can try to bargain it lower to meet your budget. Sembawang Music and Gramphone stores use this model for cd testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Alternatively try 2nd hand (audition first for at least an hour to make sure it's working properly). You should be able to get a Marantz CD-6000 OSE LE. Another 2nd hand alternative is the Rotel-951 or 971. You can also look out for NAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iriz 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 been scouring ard the net for reviews for the marantz. doesnt seem that favourable. what about the older marantz models like the cd50-60 series? nad! but then which models should i look out for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute0 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 It's not all about reviews, you've got to hear the player for yourself! For older Marantz models, check out Marantz CD-6000 OSE LE like Rameish suggested, or even the CD-63. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 I guess sometimes it's all too difficult to judge a product. The internet reviews sure play a HUGE part of my shopping. But you got to know where to draw that line. Unless you can "try all you can" before buying it, then it's all up to the reviews. I second the Marantz. Got to listen to it a couple of times.
