Hi Guys,
I am currently shopping for a good cd/amp combo to partner with my spare MA S2.
I've already heard several cd/amp combo but never with the intended speakers. I listen to jazz but lets say my musical taste varies from rock to jazz.
So far, I'm considering these options:
1. CA 640 a/c v2 - has good reviews and got a reasonable offer from one of the stores here in RP.
2. NAD 545BEE and NAD C326BEE - I heard them sing but not that impressed. Has good reviews but also has reliability issues reported on the net.
3. Marantz cd6003/pm6003- very good reviews but haven't had the chance to audition them. It is also more expensive than the CA 640 which I almost bought. Based on what I have read, it can play ipod natively without the need for a dock.
My budget can only go as far the marantz combo, but a bit hesitant to splurge as this will delay my svs purchase a couple of months more
TIA. :-)
