Reviews around output (5.00 of 5)

  • The discrete headphone output has top notch sound, and way more than enough power output to drive Sennheiser HD650, 800, and 800 S headphones, and this is at medium gain
  • The output was, in a word, lovely

  • Otherwise the player is easy to use and seems solid, heavy, and well-built.

Reviews around sound (4.59 of 5)

  • The discrete headphone output has top notch sound, and way more than enough power output to drive Sennheiser HD650, 800, and 800 S headphones, and this is at medium gain
  • Sound is accurate with no discernable distortion and sweet with no shrillness
  • I had the pre-amp volume set at roughly "3.5", and the sound was brilliant, clear, and on the verge of being uncomfortably loud
  • After the disc is inserted it makes loud sounds while trying to read, intermittently it fails to recognize discs, skips music within tracks
  • So if you like the 1541A chip sound, you'll appreciate this Marantz 6006.

Reviews around cd (4.59 of 5)

  • CD-R's are no problem.
  • In my opinion it is the best CD player in it's price range.
  • I had purchased a decent CD player at the same time as the other equipment, but it gave up the ghost, and was replaced with an inferior changer from Sony as a stopgap
  • So what do I have to show for ordering this wonderful new CD player with all the positive reviews
  • This is probably overall the best sounding cd player I have had in my system, and I have owned many through the years

Reviews around marantz (4.03 of 5)

  • An awful lot of unpaid labor because Marantz has no respect for its customers and ships them equipment which works for an hour and then kaput
  • Quality control is possible, but maybe the Marantz company has just been sold too many times and has lost its identity and the pride Saul Marantz instilled in it in New York all those years ago.(I have since bought the Yamaha CD-S700 for my living room setup
  • CD-R's are no problem.
  • So if you like the 1541A chip sound, you'll appreciate this Marantz 6006.
  • Just recieved the Marantz CD6006 a few days ago, and so far it's great

Reviews around quality (3.86 of 5)

  • The quality of the sound is great until it abruptly skips
  • Note, I initially planned to run the Marantz CD player through my NAD M51 DAC, but after running the optical through the DAC & straight to the pre-amp, the sound quality was simply too disappointing; the truly great part is when I simply ran the CD player's built in DAC

Reviews around price (3.22 of 5)

  • CD-R's are no problem.
  • This is a great buy: reasonable price for the value, ease in functionality, and overall sound quality make this a great buy
  • The price is quite fair given the quality.

Reviews around ear (3.22 of 5)

  • CD-R's are no problem.
  • Background: a 25 year old high end system with Thiel speakers, Threshold electronics, Sota vacuum turntable with SME Series V arm and Monster Genesis cartridge that works with my 85 year old, still golden ears
  • I should add that I've been playing drums, on and off, for almost half a century, and only in the past five or so years have I protected my ears properly
