Advantages: Amazing sound quality, great price, full of features Disadvantages: None I can think of
The Marantz CD6000 OSE CD player has been around for about a year now, and is priced between £200 and £300, depending on where you look. At this price point, it evidently doesn't consider itself competition for the likes of Arcam, but yet pitches itself as far superior to the budget makes (Marantz are owned by Philips, and Philips takes care of the budget end of the range). My review relates to the CD6000 OSE LE, which is identical except in a few ... ...As features go, the Marantz seems to be pretty well equipped. The display is of the full dot-matrix type, and quite large too - this means that the display is easy to read, and also that it can display the total number of tracks alongside the track number, along with a 'track index', which is very rarely used on any CD. However, if you find a CD which uses this track index (classical CDs are the most likely to), there are skip buttons on the remote ...

Advantages: price, general sound quality, build Disadvantages: Remote, looks, problems with CDrs
I purchased my Marantz CD6000ose at Richer sounds for the bargain price of just £150 - half the new price, and have owned it for about 2 years. When new, the player was certainally the top player in its class. Generally described as smooth (in the traditional marantz style) but with the ability to reproduce voices and dance beats effectivly. This is certainally an appraisal that I agree with. However, having moved my other componets a little up the ... ...I have listened to, the Marantz is missing something. Now this may sound a little vague - but it is how it is. It lacks sparkle - what grabs you and makes you think 'what a wonderful voice' or 'what a great track' and so on. The Rotel in particular attacks, where the Marantz sounds woolly. Not a major complaint - just a recognition that CD technology is something that has moved on over the last 3 or so years. Build wise, the product is typical marantz ...

Advantages: Very detailed and stable sound Disadvantages: CDR playback
...I previously used a Marantz CD 52 SE, I bought about 10 years ago and was time for something up to date. I still use the 52 in my bedroom, and It's still going strong with out a hitch and plays CDRs with out a problem.
It was the fact that the CD 52 has been so reliable that the new player I was to buy would probably to be a Marantz, and after serching the internet and reading reviews I would have loved to buy the CD17, but funds were not available. ... ...other tracks with out error. Also I do miss the FTS (Favourite Track Selection) that the 52 has, and the display could be a bit brighter as it is difficult to see in a well lit room. Overall a great machine built on the Marantz tradition of fine CD players. ...
