My dilemma may be familiar, but here goes.
My old Hi-Fi sounded Great. Marantz 6100 Turntable with an A&R cart+stylus. Marantz PM 310 Amp and big old Speakers - either called Marston Hall or Marsden Hall. The speakers gave up the ghost so I bought some Tannoy Mercury M2's and a Marantz CD6000 OSE SE for CD playing. I thought maybe my hearing was going a bit as time has moved on. But the sound quality is definately not as good as it was with the old speakers and vinyl. My wife tells me it's my age, but I found some old TDK AD tapes I'd recorded onto with my Akai CS-MO2 cassette deck. Some of these are 15 years old + but still sound far better than CD's do thru my system. How can I make CD's sound as good as my old vinyl did???????
