Marantz CD5400 Review (CD Player)

[livinon2wheels]

Wow. A Marantz CD 6000 OSE was part of my entry hifi-setup. It would be interesting to know how it would fare.
As it was, after the Marantz I "invested" pointless money and time in random RCA cables, SACD players, CD players with tube preamplifiers and other nonsense and even believed in the rankings of hi-fi magazines. How nice it would have been if ASR and these tests had existed here 20 years ago. This makes me feel like a disgraced Scientology dropout.

I know what you mean...I am as much a common sense sort of person as anyone alive, I think and not much of a believer in marketing speak but I have been fooled a time or two. Fortunately not too often. But yeah I bought into hi-fi mag ratings too. I never bought into the cable thing though.
