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?

rtsy · « **Reply #1 on:** May 23, 2003 at 08:13 AM »

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!

stradale · « **Reply #2 on:** May 23, 2003 at 12:38 PM »

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.

Mga Sir...

What's a good/affordable entry-level CD player. Can I get a decent one for less than P10K?

onedown · « **Reply #7 on:** Jun 12, 2003 at 06:02 PM »

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.
which cd player is better?

thanks.

stradale · « **Reply #8 on:** Jun 12, 2003 at 06:38 PM »

jairus,

Ipon ka na lang ng P18T para NAD C541i ka na. Best bang-for-the-buck CD player yan.

Yes, if you go with used players.

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.

wala pa bang new owners ng CD5400?

odyopayl · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 05, 2004 at 05:20 PM »

If you will upgrade for a ned CD player make sure it's an HDCD capable player para may ultimate features.

Experience with HDCD is another listening dimension.

cool, the DAC used is also capable of DSD, too bad it isn't turned on for this cd player

akyatbundok · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 05, 2004 at 06:05 PM »

guys, there's a thread in head-fi.org that raises an issue that you might be concerned about.

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?

audi0slave · « **Reply #24 on:** Aug 05, 2004 at 06:11 PM »

there's only one way to find out.... someone should buy it now and open up the hood .....

I'm using a Marantz CD6000 OSE SE wanted to get the heart version of this but it was out of my budget

....I was supposed to buy the CD5400 but the CD6000 was on sale that day so I got it instead. Not sure about the difference between the asian and european versions for the CD5400 I'll try to ask around and see what they say....
