I have two cd players, a Denon DCD600NE, have lots of problems with it, but I kept it because it sounds like vinyl, it has a very warm, appealing sound (I think Marantz and Denon are now the same company). The other one is a Pioneer PD-10AE, it works perfectly, has a colder but more precise sound, both units have their own character, neither replaces the other, that's why I kept both. I'm glad you've purchased the beautiful Marantz player, I hope you'll have lots of fun with it.

I have a vintage Marantz CD10 - which, if set up carefully, can sound truly amazing. I find it hard to believe it can sound so musical in spite of its age. It's built like a tank and weighs a ton!

I have Marantz cd6007 over a year now. It is best in class with great reviews all over net. It sounds great and works like a charm. Highly recommended device.

I have. the 8006 cd player and streamer and love it.

I have a silver AK DAC version of Marantz CD6007. I really like it, sometimes I even use headphone output.

I have the Marantz CD 6007 and teamed up with the PM 6007 Integrated Amp. Purchased just before Covid and shortly after that both units prices jumped by $300.00 each.(Crutchfield) I use the optical connection for the DAC .Overall I think this is an outstanding combo. I like that fact you can adjust the DAC filter. BTW I also have a Marantz Receiver 2250B (1976) restored which is just a work of art. So I have really been drinking the Marantz Kool- Aid for a long time. I am sure you will be happy with your choices. It's been a month since you made this video let me know how it's working out. for you.

Interesting presentation thanks - I had 6006 a few years ago and I really liked it - and I am thinking about a 6007 - BUT I was offered a good deal on a new CD60 and I'm very tempted to buy it -- I can get a 6007 boxed in as new condition for about €400 and a new CD60 for €600 ..

I own Teac cd-p4500 from 1993 and works fine with sweet sound and heavy bass responce.Looking for a new cd player for a second system (other room).Many new cd -players have problems with drives.Also many are cold/shrill/clinic sounding.Iam between 6007 and denon dcd-900.Marantz 6007 has better reputation with reliability.But what hifi said that 6007 in comparison with 6006 is more shrill/aggressive at uppermids and highs.And that is a BIG problem for me because i can't tolerate harsh mids and highs.Of course you can't be sure about synergy between equipment.My sustem Yamaha A-S 501 and Q Acoustics 3030i.How do you feel about the uppermids and highs of 6007?Bass is deep enough or just fast?

Have Audiolab 6000CDT I bought as ex-display and that’s using an r2r ladder dac sound is outstanding.

I bought one last year. I could not be happier. Bigger more detailed sound stage.

I have a Marantz CD6007 it is superb! Using KEF q350 speakers with it an powered by an Arcam SA20 Amplifier.😊

Nice video! Awesome device!

I have a quad artera solus play, via an emotiva basx a2 power amp to ma bronze 5 speakers, brilliant.

My concern about buying a used CD player is how many years it will play without problems like skipping or stoping and the ability to handle scratches. A test of these capabilities is quite important! Thanks for the video!

I just wish that audio companies would also go back to the silver faced equipment as an option to other than black or titanium.

I have both the integrated and cd player and they sound great. What speakers are you using?

I bought the CD6005 back in 2013. Still going strong and have no intention of retiring it yet. Was considering the combined streamer model a while ago but opted for Bluesound dedicated one as much cheaper. If the 6005 packs up, I'll check the current best options but Marantz will start favourite. I think I have same amp as your video with Dali Oberon 5 speakers and Technics Mk7 deck. Happy with my set up which is the main thing. Other people have different preferences which I always find interesting. There's no such thing as a perfect set up, everything is personal choice. What was your free cd then?

i have a 6007 and when i first listened to it, it sounded muffled and now i know why, i am really pissed off about it particularly when it is advertised as AK chip and mine has the ESS..yes i have listened to one with the correct chip..you can hear the difference.

That utility knife will give you your fist scratch 🥴🥴

how are we supposed to know if it worked or not if you did not play it?

one of few excellent mods for this player is to obtain some road kill (Halfords) its a bitumen/foil - sound deadening compound just cut and peel off the correct size for the underneath the cover, apply with a little heat and.....be amazed.

Buzz kill, sorry. My cd 6005, cd 6006 sounded ok as a low budget cd player, unfortunately the transports go batty after only about a year or so of light use. Good luck. Presently spinning silver on an Audiolab 6000cdt out to an SMSL SU-9 dac.

AK?? Or AKM??

I still have a Marantz 6000 OSE

I don't know about others but my idea of cheap isn't $700.

what was the point of this video????????

Try a higher quality external DAC. I think you will notice the difference.
