ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

I have the previous model Marantz 6006 UK edition. Pretty good for the money, though the loading tray is a temperamental shitbag. Maybe the 6007 is better in this regard.

I use an Arcam CD73 which I picked up for around £100 and it sounds absolutely brilliant.

How much better can a player costing thousands sound than one selling for a few hundred. I'm betting there's not much in it, and the extra money is going on better (hopefully) build quality and operation. And appearance.

you'd hope better ability to read damaged discs without drop out or glitches too but not necessarily the case.
As with any component there's expensive rubbish out there.
Not all players have a flat response - shelve the bass up or the treble down a little - warm sounding player
Shelve the bass down or the top up - bright sounding (aka 'detailed') player. But that is rare.
Some players have constant mechanical noise. Some have bad internal lay-out and have power supply noise bleeding into the signal - that might be audible as a loss of detail and a mushy sound.
But those exceptions aside there's not much if any difference, that's the advantage of digital audio.

Good kit, Primare.
Not bad looking either.

Yeah, I like Primare kit, I like the symmetry
How about this one:

There's another one in silver for quite a bit less, and also a CD21 where the bid is only about £100 with a couple of days to go. Might be worth a punt
