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

I salute Marantz.

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

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

CD-R's are no problem.
