Marantz CC4003 5 Disc CD Changer (Black)

 (15 customer reviews)

I've always had mass-market cd players before, figured digital is digital, and never realized the difference that a higher quality player can make. This Marantz is a revelation. It brings my cds alive with a depth, vibrance, and clarity that I've never heard before. It's also quite stylish, with the trademark Marantz curved edges. The buttons on the front of the unit are a bit small and obscure, but I like the remote. It's got excellent functionality and the buttons are nicely sized. So far, my only quibble is that when you stop a cd in the middle it does not start back up at the same place, but goes all the way back to the beginning. And the changer tray seems potentially delicate. I'll keep my fingers crossed on that one. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

I just got this a month ago. Good So far.
Looks really good. Sounds good, I have attached to a Carver Preamp and it sounds just fine (not a big believer that there is much of a difference once you get above $250 units). The carousel is a bit clunky in movement but not a problem. the diameter is tighter than my last Panasonic, you can only remove CDs one at a time. the buttons on the front are poorly marked (can barely identify buttons if lighting isn't really bright)and most of then are covered up when the drawer is open, this just means it helps to have the remote with you when changing CDs.

fantastic it is like have a complete new cd collection
it was time to change an old technics (95).
i was surprised asking for a cd changer, the sales men in many electronic stores answered : get a dvd player no more cd players are manufactured
and this one has been made in january 2010.
cons
slow motion of the changer when loading the cd`s and noisy

pros
friendly remote control
great sound
you are getting new techno at very good price
i recommend this cd player
