Entry CD player question?


If you look at my system you'll see what I have to help me decide on a CD player.

I can't help wonder about my stereo receiver's matching Rotel RCD1072 single disc player, instead of the Marantz which was the top 5 disc player at the time. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Much appreciated,

Mike

Very nice system. Looks like you put it together with thought. Also looks very nice.
 

Well, I can’t definitively say the Rotel would sound better. But I think it is very likely. I have a lot of experience with Rotel. The Rotel is purpose built with a better power supply and is absent the five disc changer contraption. This is likely to result in a higher sound quality. I like Rotel equipment for their cost range.

 

Also it is typically better to match components to the same manufacturer. They tend to perform a little better provided that the company was working towards high-quality sound with simplicity of design simplicity. I think it likely a great choice.
