Hi all, new member here~

Your mistaken if you think all CDP's sound a like. There is a huge difference in cheap and expensive CDP's. You just need a high end amp, preamp and speakers to tell the difference. Your an audio noob but will eventually figure it out.

I've auditioned numerous CDP's head to head with very great differences in sound, detail, resolution, tone, sound stage, rhythm and musicality. Your source of sound greatly impacts what you hear.

And by the way, you can't buy Marantz reference series at Best Buy although BB Magnolia stores can order high end equipment.

just to be clear~ i never though cd players sound alike. i have tested that putting cd's on dvd machines actually makes quite a difference in sound. but i have yet to do enough hearing tests on cd players alone to justify the extra $2000 bucks for the marrantz player. i am gonna really have to hear it first.
