tee 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2003 what would be the likely offering price for just CD63SE alone (gold in color ?) ? Is this not KI tweaked ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adhoc 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2003 if KI is not mentioned, it shouldnt be a KI model. i find sometime the adding of those 2 letters 'KI' can almost double the price.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2003 It's already mentioned the cdp is a 63SE. 63KI is an improved version of 63mkII. The 63SE is often priced at $250 in the used market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tee 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Is 63mkII better than 63 SE, Mackie ? Heard that this model has some common tracking problems before, is it true ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 63SE is the improved version of the first generation of 63 series. I think the lens are not rated class 1 laser product ie. plastic and not glass lens. This part can be purchased for $20 at SLT. Generally, I think 63SE does not have tracking problems just that it needs a change of lens (on heavy playback) every 2-3 years or so. My class 1 Pioneer lens has lasted more than 10 years and still going strong. However the part is costly ie $90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Good deal nevertheless as enclosed image shows owner has been taking good care of it. Btw, 63SE is musical and still in demand in the used market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 I heard the PM65, 57 and some other marantz amps. IMHO i think they should be avoided unless they are given free. I've heard similarly priced ($2-300) amps that are more musical, transperant and more often than not, controls the same speakers better, hinting they are more powerful. Brands like Cyrus, Rotel, Pioneer comes to my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
