Thanks Dalek,
I think i made a mistake by aquire this CDP. I bouth him yesterday on eBay, but i should have done the home work.
I alredy have a CD Marantz 60 modified with a Philips CDM4 and a TDA1541A DAC. The Radford i think it will be more of the same.
The CD 60 have a beutifull sound, very natural and precisious. All acoustics instruments and voices are simple gregorius. Jazz, ethno, world music... , but i also listen heavy metal and this kind of music have high frequencies. I think that the DAC with high frequecies get a liltle confused.
So, i like to try and test equiments. Now i have Accuphase E-305V + Proac 1SC + Marantz CD 60 Mod. Second system: NAD 320BEE + Marantz CD 5001 + Monitor Audio 7 MKII.
If I would have the $$$ it would be Copland cd 288 or Teac VRDS 10.
Thanks
Your welcome.
In my very humble opinion I think the WS1 is a better cdp than your CD60...at least potentially. As a platform its better in that it has a Philips CM1 laser mechanism and that is about as good as it gets bar Teac Vrds mechanisms. If the config is the same as a Marantz CD94 mk2 then it will have twin TDA1541 dacs per channel in a dual differential layout. This allows for a great platform for tweaks and mods. I have a CD94mk2 and its a very good CDP even by todays standards.
What part of the world are you from ?
