No worries..

Hi Dan,
sorry I’ve just noticed that you have Pioneer PDS 703 as well.
Which is better between the Marantz and the Pioneer and why?
Thank you.

Hi

I would say the Marantz is an acquired taste as in the wrong system can sound bright and brittle but the Pioneer is one i always go back and sounds superb HI-FI Hanger have one on ebay for £75 as well as postage grab it if i were you bargain...

Thank you hope this helps...

Yup. All good advice. I like the Pioneers. A PD-S703 at £75 is well worth having and Hi-Fi Hangar is a reputable dealer.

Thank you Dan and Geoff for the advice.

The 703 goes for less than some Pioneer SP players as it only has an optical out which limits its use as a transport.

Unfortunately the one at Hifi Hangar has gone...

I've found another one by Retrotech Audio at £100.

Furthermore, a friend of mine is selling an Arcam Alpha 7SE at £70.

Which one do you think it's better?

Thank you

[dantheman91]

I have both and my heart still says the Pioneer

What amp did you get to go with the CD player?

The Pioneer can be a bit on the lean side, so depending on your amp & speakers it can sound shrill & sharp. The wonderful detail it has bsounds great on a warmer amp like an old Nad or valves. I’d be wary with Arcam or Pioneer amps, especially with B&W speakers which could strip the paint from your walls.

I've an almost unused TASCAM CD-200 in the loft.
Bought as a transport
