Title: Marantz CD Players
Post by: stradale on May 22, 2003 at 09:09 PM
Their CD6000 and its various iterations received lots of good reviews so I'd like to demo these.  Who distributes Marantz CDP's in the Philippines?

Hyperaudio carries Marantz stuff.  I'm not sure if all models are available.

Likewise check out the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb and Heart CD Players.  These are Marantz players heavily modded by some crazy guys over at Holland with TUBE OUTPUT STAGES!

Yes I have actually.  Am interested in the Ah!  Affordable naman except that the UPS shipping adds 200 Hfl.  You've been to Europe, what's the equivalent of that in Pesos?

Mr. Ferdie Ludo of Sounds and Images in Cebu distributes Heart CD players.  Get ready for the prices though.

Mukhang good buy yung Marantz CD6000 KI (Ken Ishiwata) Signature CD player. Bested the Rotel RCD-02, Exposure 2010 (which previously beat out the RCD-1070), NAD C541i, and Arcam CD62T and did so quite convincingly per Hi-Fi Choice.

Anybody knows where I can find this thing?  And yes Archangel, the basic Marantz CD6000 is the base unit for Heart's top-of-the-line CD6000.  The Marantz CD4000 is the base unit not only for the Heart CD4000 but also for the highly acclaimed Ah! Njoe Tjobe 4000.

Looks like magandang foundation ang Marantz CD players among CDP tuners.

Just remember that it's your ears that's important, not magazine reviews.  Remember that HFC has a strong focus on the mid-fi segment which means not much light anywhere else.

It's the tubes...I'd be much more excited about a tubed CDP than I'd be about a S/S one.  I'm not saying S/S CDP's can't sound good.  I'm just saying that after an exhaustive audition (even of CDPs that aren't for sale like Hyperion's MF CDT and Boghart's QDS15!), the tubed CDP's have proven themselves over and over again.   :)

Another one to consider is Scott Nixon's DAC.  Do a search on Audio Asylum for feedback on this inexpensive alternative.

jarius, budget-priced cd players are quite hard to find here in metro manila. so far, the only players i saw within your price range are: yamaha cdx-396, pioneer pd-217, and teac cd-p1250. all of them are single disc players, and costs 8k, more or less.

the thread below might interest you.

    If you will add 3T, you can get a Slightly used Nakamichi CD changer. Myki is selling his player. You can wait for a good deal on other 2nd hand. I was able to buy an almost brand new Rotel 961 for 12T. How about the suggestion of Onedown if you really want less than 10T.

the specs for the CD-5400 in Marantz Europe and Marantz Asia are different.... the "Asian" version apparently uses inferior parts, the DAC for instance is lower spec TDA1549 rather than the one mentioned above.

maybe the Crystal chip is installed on the OSE version?

Post by: audi0slave on Aug 19, 2004 at 11:34 PM
here's the February 2004 review of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision on the

Marantz CD 5400

HAS MARANTZ GIVEN UP on two channel audio, as some people have suggested? With no fewer than four CD players in its mainstream Range series, and more in its premium lineup, this doesn't look like a pull-out.

The CD5400 is an entry-level model but looks, feels and sounds anything but, especially with the optional stylish silver finish of the review sample. It has a cool, solid feel that eludes its rivals in this group, and the fascia is much less fuzzy than that of some past Marantz machines. Clutter is kept to a minimum - most of the controls are relegated to the remote handset, and the buttons there are on the front panel have a crisp, positive feel that extends to the action of the disc-loader. Meanwhile, the display is big and clear, showing CD-text info, when available, in legible dot-matrix characters. There's also a headphone output with its own volume control, and both optical and electrical digital outputs alongside the analogue connections.

The player uses a quality transport mechanism to feed a multi-bit delta sigma conversion system from Cirrus Logic. Close attention has been paid to circuit layout, isolation and earthing, while frills include a pitch control - handy for musicians wanting to play along with their favorite discs - and a Quick Replay button to skip back to a favorite section of music.

Features aside, it's the performance of the Marantz that really grabs your attention: it'll have you listening for hours. There's not a hint of the compression or softness one expects at this price - instead, it delivers music in a big-boned dynamic style. It has the kind of control and punch that make everything from the pop of the Pet Shop Boys to large-scale orchestral works sound thrilling, and does a fine job with closed-milked chamber music.

This is a remarkable player for the money, with superb looks, sound and feel, which gives you no clue as to the budget price. Fool your friends into thinking you've spent a lot more.

FOR
Pace, poise and timing; a very refined player for the money

AGAINST
Not a lot

OVERALL
In the tradition of fine affordable Marantz players, a very solid buy - and a lot of fun (150 Pounds)

i'm planning to have a dedicated CD player. i'm choosing between a marantz cd5001 or a cambridge azur 340c. i'm more inclined on the marantz, although i still have to audition both players yet. any of you guys owned this cd players. your review will be highly valued, tnx   ;D
Title: Re: Marantz CD Players
Post by: macdon on Mar 03, 2008 at 10:40 AM
Last saturday, I auditioned the Marantz CD5001 cdp & Cambridge Azur 540c in 5th ave, shang. Amp was a Cambridge Audio & speakers were MS.

The 540c really had very forward vocals - very clear & crisp - however it sounded a bit "nasal". While imaging is very good in staying in the middle, soundstage was small. Price 17k.

The Marantz CD5001 is more neutral in vocals. While it also presented clear & crisp deliberation, it also has a wider soundstage. It was more open & more airy than the CA 540c. Price 14k.

Personally, I'd give my nod to the Marantz ;)

Some added features that I enjoyed in the CD5001 was its dot matrix led - that could be shut off, CD texting - awesome feature!, buffered headphone jack with volume control and a CD pitch control! Nowadays, its even hard to find any of these features in other brands - let alone in one player!

The Marantz cd5001 is sold for around 14k, while the Rotel rcd06 sells for 27-28k - honestly, I dont believe that the SQ of the rcd06 is double that of the cd5001. Rotel's rcd1072 is sold for more than 30k+

You might like to visit parksquare, mkti. Audition the Rotel cdps in Sound dimension, then go next door to 5th Ave to audition the Marantz cd5001 naman ;)

thanks for the suggestion sir, but the thing is that they will not be hooked up on the same set up kaya mahirap maging level ang audition, unless meron sa mga members na naka try na nito or is this even a valid question or match up?

kung hindi naman twice better ang 1072 sa 5001, ang tanong na lang eh kung worth ng cost difference ba yung sq difference

This may sound like a bold move - but since they're neighbors naman sa parksquare, maybe you can entice either one of them to accompany you in bringing your preferred CDP to the other store to audition? Its worth a shot, eh? ;D

If not, you may bring your own amp & speakers to both places cguro. They say this is the best route ;)

You might find somebody who can possibly describe to you what it sounds to him/her - but I'm sure you would still be dying to hear 'em yourself, diba? Tama po kayo, audition is the key ;)

Right now, yung Marantz CD6002 is not available here in Manila. Not even Avesco who distributes Marantz here - they dont know kung magkakaroon sila neto.
This cdp is available in Europe, wala sa catalog ng Marantz USA - so dunno if they will carry.

While i did find a resource in ebay, Hong Kong - i'm still undecided kung kukunin ko kasi gusto ng seller bank-to-bank transfer, which doesnt have any security. Thats the only way daw that he can ship to me straight here in Manila.
Pwede rin daw paypal if you have an account with paypal - but its a bit more expensive via paypal kasi may fees pa yun.
While my cousin in the states has paypal - the seller will only ship to the one who has the paypal account. So double shipping cost ang babayaran ko :'(

The seller is selling/shipping each unit for $442 + $45 via airparcel/airmail of the post office. Pwede rin daw express mail for $56 ata.

isa pa - warranty. Marantz Japan daw ang warranty ng unit. Yung HK unit is 220v 50/60Hz

Medyo hassle - so I'm still undecided.

Bakit kasi hindi nyo ako tinatanong (biro lang). Bayaan nyo, tignan ko kung available dito itong Marantz CD6002. Baka pwede ko pang ibigay ng mas mura kaysa sa source mo.

The Marantz cd5001 is sold for around 14k, while the Rotel rcd06 sells for 27-28k - honestly, I dont believe that the SQ of the rcd06 is double that of the cd5001. Rotel's rcd1072 is sold for more than 30k+

You might like to visit parksquare, mkti. Audition the Rotel cdps in Sound dimension, then go next door to 5th Ave to audition the Marantz cd5001 naman ;)
 

It doesn't mean double the price, eh double din ang improvement in sound quality. As you go up the ladder, small increment na lang and makukuha mo. It is just a matter if you are willing to pay for that last bit of improvement you wanted in your listening experience.

That's true.  Small improvements na lang but the price tags get doubled.

The only problem is that I don't see even an iota of improvement the Rotel RCD 06 has over even the older Marantz CD5001, is there?  Except maybe a cleaner facade and sleeker form.  ;D  And just by reading the spec sheets of both,  the RCD06 is inferior to the Marantz CDP  ;D

I-copy & paste ko na rin:



Preliminary Listening impressions with the Marantz CD6002:

I finally tried out the Marantz cdp in my audio setup and it is amazing!  Its a tad warmer sounding than my Rotel 1072 but the resolution is present, nonetheless. The Rotel is forward sounding, while the Marantz is a bit behind. Micro & macro details are present as well as dynamics, but I sense it is a bit more on the Rotel 1072.

The CD text of the Marantz is a delight to see as it scrolls from right to left - it does this to every new track.
One of the many great features that the Marantz has is its headphone jack - it is a high grade headphone circuit with a high-speed buffer amplifier. I've read a lot of head-hifi forums having Marantz cdps for this purpose alone. Unfortunately, when I grabbed my Grado SR80 cans - naka mini-jack sya & I cant find the adaptor anywhere - bwiset  Oh well, will buy one later nalang.
Meron din syang pitch control - but I havent tried it as I was gauging its SQ.

INMO, I dont think it was fair to judge the Marantz CD6002 with a Rotel flagship 1072 cdp at 3x its price and while there were times that I was hard pressed to find any difference - some audiophile cds proved the Rotel 1072 to be just a tad better.

However, if one is to look for a bnew CDP at 15-20k - I really dont think you can find a better one than the Marantz CD6002. The pitch control, CD text and high grade headphone circuit is hard enough to find in any cdp - much less in one cdp alone.  No worries - it reads CD-R/CD-RW; MP3 or WMA.

Will still try the headphones later and change parameters - as my Rotel 1072 does have added acoustic damper-shackels below it.
Nonetheless, the Marantz made me tap my feet & snap my fingers to its beat that made me forget I wasnt listening to my 1072 - so this is definitely a good investment and a great value specially at its price

P.s. - kumusta kaya eto sa tubo? hehehehe

Thanks Macdon. Siguro pagpilian ko CD5003 at 6002, both are 50/60 Hz. A salesman here in middle east told me that pag de motor daw ang electronics dapat 50/60 Hz kung gamitin sa pinas, hindi daw tatagal pag 50Hz lang. Anybody tried using cdp with 50 Hz only? takot din kasi ako baka hindi tatagal sayang ang investment  ;D

If you can audition both the 5003 & 6002, then you can choose which player will suit you best. The 5001 has been discontinued by Marantz and have replaced it with the 5003 sporting a new chassis with some added features.
However, some reviews of the 5003 say that it still embodies the innards of the previous 5001.

bro,
have u tried..
1) replacing its fuse with an audio-grade?
2) putting orig dynamat dampers atop the transport?
3) upgrading the lampcord power plug into an audio-grade?
if not then u might also consider trying and then let us know how it would compare to the flagship RCD1072 from rotel :)

Interesting ideas sir allan - i might give some of those serious consideration ;)
I did consider changing opamps awhile back......only to find out that the 6002 doesnt use opamps but rather HDAMs ;D

While I do have an audio-grade rack, I also added dampening shackles specifically for my spyder rack and it did prove to be an improvement.
Im really enjoying the 6002 and listening to it more than my Rotel 1072 in the bedroom ;)

yes but older. first number indicates spot in model range higher the better; last number indicates series, higher means newer. lots of reviews said its strongest point is its aesthetic match to current Marantz amps. sound is, generally, uninspired and you could do better in this price range.

what CDP did you end up buying?

yes but older. first number indicates spot in model range higher the better; last number indicates series, higher means newer. lots of reviews said its strongest point is its aesthetic match to current Marantz amps. sound is, generally, uninspired and you could do better in this price range.

what CDP did you end up buying?

i see. thanks for the info sir. pm ko na lang sir what i ended up buying. marantz cdp thread kasi ito eh :)

i got the review mixed up, its the PM5003 amp that supposedly has aesthetics as its strongest point. cool for Marantz to have HDAMs in its entry-level player now.

now down to 7k+ kaso wala ng silver.

Nakita ko nga yung post #68 ko dito sa Marantz thread (page 3) about the Marantz CD5001 being offered for 12k+.......so kung bumaba na sya ng 9k or even now na 7k, then it should be considered as the best buy na nga na cdp at the moment.

The current cdp na pumalit kay 5001 is 5003 which is being sold for 15k ata........now, if you read some reviews online, may mga nagsasabi na same lang daw ang SQ ng 5001 & 5003 since they have the same innards.
The only diff daw with the 5003 today is that it now has a few new features na wala sa 5001 dati......but if you can live w/o those added features of the 5003, then I would say the 7k price of the 5001 is worth it talaga.

I will look for some reviews of both the 5001 & current model 5003 & will post it here ;)

hdam na nga ang 5003, although they use same cirrus logic chip, and the 5003 can play mp3 and wma burned on cds already, while the 5001 only cds and burned cds of non-compressed music. but for 50% of the price i would say for starters the 5001 is a heck of a deal.  :)

Yes, I read the reviews at whathifi myself and this got kinda stuck in my thinking:

Under the new exterior it's progression rather than revolution, with the CD5003 using the same audio circuit and DAC as the outgoing '5001, but there has been some purposeful tinkering around the edges – and the resulting performance is a similarly sedate evolution of the CD5001 sound.

full review here:

http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Marantz-CD5003/

More reviews of the cd5001 from end users:

http://www.audioreview.com/cat/digital-sources/cd-players/marantz/cd-5001/PRD_344941_1586crx.aspx

Logic dictates that newer products of a company should be better than the one it replaced and whether one believes in reviews or not, is purely subjective. However, being that the 5001 is now less than 50% of the current 5003 is certainly not something to dismiss.

Yup, audition the 5001 and if the store also has a 5003 - audition them both ;D

Ang bangis neto! :o I love the blue light strip ;D

buti naman hiniwalay na ng marantz ang Ken Ishiwata signature models. dati ang style ng marantz pag may click na modelo dadagdagan ng "suffix" ex: sa cdp - nag click ang cd63 at cd67, so nagkaron ng Mark2 (mkii), then SE (special edition). ganun din sa amp naman PM17-KI signature - ken ishiwata signature, tas dinagdagan pa ng Pearl.

ganyan yata mga british makers like b&w 601 series 1,2,3: Mordauntshort MS10 10i 10ipearl. halos wala naman pinagkaiba, tweak konting budbod ng vetsin here and there lang, sapesyal mami na ;D. kesa wala sila mailabas sa susunod na taon eh another series of the highly rated award winning model na lang.

as to marantz cdp, like other brands/models, matching lang yan with the right gears para may synergy ;D

I bought one cd6003 in black colour, my impression was somewhat makalansing/quite thin sounding yet very detailed (especially engaging the Audio EX2).  Not as warm as the NAD C542/545 though but at least better sounding than the CA Azur 540/640 cdp IMO.  Nice looking too, like their KI Signature / Premium Series.

Yes, that's the main difference between the 5001 and 5003 (aside from the cosmetic looks of course and supoort for MP3 etc).

Another main difference is that 5001 uses the popular Sony KSS-213C transport. The CD5003 uses a Sanyo DV11VF.

Post by: deuce on Nov 18, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Hi, Magzzz.

Earlier this year, a friend of mine in Singapore bought a Marantz 6002 cdp and shipped it to me through LBC. It was also Macdon who patiently gave me detailed instructions on how to do this through a series of PMs (thanks so much, Macdon!).

All you have to do is to specify to your friend what brand/model and color to buy, and to canvas for the best price from the authorized dealers in Adelphi mall. Kung sa authorized dealer bibilhin, very slight naman siguro ang chance na maloloko siya.

After buying the unit, your friend can simply bring it to LBC, which has a branch in Lucky Plaza, and ship it to you, by means of air or surface shipping. I chose surface, because it was cheaper and I was not in a hurry, anyway. Total cost to me (cost of the unit + LBC shipping) was the equivalent of P15,869.35.

Siyempre, ang downside nito, pag nasira, you will have to claim the warranty from the dealer in Singapore! Despite that, I decided to do this because I did not like the cdps I could have bought here at the time, which were the Azur 640C and the Marantz 5003. Saka confident naman ako sa quality ng Marantz, lalo na pag brand new.

Hope this helps. :)

Sir Deuce may I ask is your 6002 supply input frequency is 220 50hz only or 50/60hz, pagkakaalam ko kasi SGP use 50hz on their electronics, correct me if I'm wrong. :-[

Sir Deuce may I ask is your 6002 supply input frequency is 220 50hz only or 50/60hz, pagkakaalam ko kasi SGP use 50hz on their electronics, correct me if I'm wrong. :-[

Wish ko lang sana matuloy groupbuy nitong cdp for the sake of us na nagtitipid. Sayang meron pa naman willing to help.

This will be my second time to join this group buy, sana this time matuloy.

If 15k for the 6003(gold), count me in.

Mga Sir.(Macdon and Edwin)

If ever, how much will be the landed cost of this cdp6003 or 5003 here in Pinas. Ang laki kasi ng price difference buying here than there in SGP. Got

A friend there his not into this hobby kaya hirap mag details but also nakakatakot baka siya maloko. Also the prons and cons from buying and shipping. sorry for my quote of your post nalilito na ko ???

salamat

Sir Magzzz - reading back to page 3 of this thread, it seems the CD6002 could be had for S$390 - S$400 in Singapore. Baka nga, cheaper na sya ngayon since Marantz have new releases already.

Have it brought to LBC (5th floor) of Lucky Plaza (S$5 taxi fare from Adelphi) and look for Cord. If you elect surface shipping (by boat) - its around S$35 -S$50, while airmail is around S$100.
If by airmail, total landed cost is about Php15k.


Power supply - AC 230v  50/60Hz
Kaya masarap bumili ng gears from Singapore kasi 220v na & shipping isnt that much kasi malapit lang ;D

Ang mura nga, even the shipping fee. My friend told me even laptop and lcd, also some of the electronic gadgets daw mura don. ang nakakapagtaka its not a 10% but almost 40% ung offset from our price here in Pinas for example this marantz cdp. Bakit kaya?

If the price of the 6002 will still go down from 15k (plus shipping) to what.. 10K :o. panalong - panalo!

Sorry to say, but theres no reason my friend could buy me this cdp anymore, na destino na sya last week from SGP to Malaysia. >:(

 Ask ko narin for how many days will be the shipping from air and sea. 
Hindi kaya magkakaron ng delay since holiday season is coming.

Macdon and Deuce many thanks for your help and detailed information. Very informative for those who will try this route.

This will be my second time to join this group buy, sana this time matuloy.

If 15k for the 6003(gold), count me in.

Makiki-ride on na lang ako kay Sir Lakambini ;D

The manual, and the info at the back of the unit, says "AC 230 V 50/60 Hz".

Thanks for clarification. Also for your quick reply. salamat

i saw brand new marantz 5001 for sale half the original prize
is this a good buy or better buy the new model 5003?
Title: Re: Marantz CD Players
Post by: richardcruz on Dec 10, 2009 at 08:53 AM
I suggest you audition both. While both share  the same DAC (Cirrus Logic), the 5003 has a new HDAM (Marantz's proprietary filter/output stage). But the 5001 at half price is very good value. I bought one previously at the half price but sold it because my old cdp (an Arcam Alpha 7SE) had been repaired/upgraded. The 5001 was very good, for its price, I liked it better than the NAD 52x series (the Marantz sounded cleaner and less boomy - its bass just the right level of taughtness, vs. the NAD's very heavy bass) and vs. the Cambridge 340 (its peer comparison in its price class), the Cambridge sounded more detailed but a tad bright for my taste, the Marantz sounded more composed and rounded.

Saw the Marantz CD6003 cdp here @ Adelphi Singapore and the price was S$390 (S$1 = Php32.7) B/new (black & silver color).

I bought mine last November 2009 @ S$450 :(  yet still cheaper though.

Awaiting the release of Marantz CD5004 cdp, an improved version of 6003 I think.

I think the CD5004 is the CD5003's successor. It uses the same DAC, and has very similar features (except for some improvements). The CD6003 also has the USB/iPod interface, which both the 5003 and the 5004 lack.

I would like to hear the CD5004 too, as Marantz CDPs have been improving with every generation. It'd probably present wonderful value in its price class.

Sa'n kaya meron? Ang mahal naman kasi ng benta ng mga latest Marantz cdp.

thank you sir stagea, the marantz UD5005 is priced at S$535 and the marantz CD6004 at S$485,(as per sir edwin)...considering that the prices of the two gears are almost at the same price range, at sana, di masyadong magkalayo in terms of SQ, mas ok na ba ang UD5005? has anybody tried to compare these two gears? or any UDP vs CDP? thanks :)

Reviews of the Marantz CD6005

From Audioholics -

Quote
Marantz's new CD6005 Hi-Fi Compact Disc Player is a $499 CD player that boasts high-quality components dedicated to getting the best possible sound out of your CD collection. That means that Marantz took care to design this player in such a way as to include the features that audiophiles care about when it comes to playing back their CD collections. Features like a CD drive mechanism that's fastened to the chassis so it minimizes vibrations. Even the circuit board that houses the digital audio aspects of the player is isolated and shielded in the player. The CD6005 will play music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs as well as WAV, AAC, WMA and MP3 files. The front-mounted USB port will work with a USB thumb drive or even allow you to stream music directly from your smart phone or iOS device.

 More here -->http://www.audioholics.com/blu-ray-and-dvd-player-reviews/marantz-cd6005-cd-player

From What Hi-Fi

Quote
The Marantz CD6005 is the best CD player we’ve heard at this price. But so was the CD6004, and the CD6003 before it.

There’s something admirable about a company that just won’t quit, even after it’s fought its way to the top. We’ve lost count of the gongs the Marantz 6000 series has scooped over the years, yet Marantz keeps tweaking.

I once ask you guys before if where/whom to bring my sacd for possible cleaning/repair cause it doesn't read/play anymore. Dahil nga bakasyon, umandar ang aking lakas ng loob sa pagkalikot...binuksan, hinipan ng kaunti, punas punas, powered, to my amazed, umandar, nagbasa, play...ayos...tried different cds, ok naman lahat..pinabayaan ko syang naka play, after an hour or so, check it up, error na. Could it be because uminit na? Dinama ko ang dalawang big caps, yung isa may slight na init. May heatsink sa malapit ng caps. Sa palagay ko maayos at malinis ang laser head. Palimigin ko muna and will test again...
