loop_ 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) I just bought this 2nd hand for $350. http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?...%28Version+2%29 There a short excerpt there (in .pdf) comparing this player to the NAD521BEE and the Marantz 5001 you're considering. My impression of the 540cV2 is that it's fantastic for symphonies and other pieces with alot of detail. However, with vocals not so good. You might find it's just right with your tube amp though. Just from a casual read there, it looks like the NAD521BEE might suit jazz and vocals, with a 'rounded, fluid sound'. One selling at echoloft, http://www.echoloft.com/cgi-bin/buysell/Ya...&num=1158243289, but looks quite well used, plus the seller lives in Bukit Gombak, so I didn't bother. A Marantz cd6000ose for $350. http://www.echoloft.com/cgi-bin/buysell/Ya...&num=1158258621. good idea too. all well within your budget.

Elac 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 I saw many positive reviews on Marantz 5001 as budget CDP. I am thinking of getting one also. At the same time tempted to get Rega Apollo, but different price league . I Will find time to Adelphi to try both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
