Which is better.
@clearthink - perhaps you should troll elsewhere. People here have a better appreciation for reasonable requests for comment/opinions. Yours are along the lines of someone who is just being a child and acting out.@stereo5 -The unit display can be ... 
Need help on a CD player
@grinnell - I am looking forward to playing with the other features that this unit has. I have never owned a DAC (outside of the standard CD player which my Carver was). The only thing I am missing is a headphone jack. I will need to break out my ...

@rok2id If you find you are interested, I could have my arm twisted to buy them. :D

@uberwaltz - No there are. But many are not ones I would purchase as a normal recording, let alone shell out, as you said, 100.00+ USD. :D

@uberwaltz - I did find about 4-5 recordings at Discogs. A lot was music that I was unfamiliar with though.

@benjie I run mine through the tape-loop of my SAE5000 (which I run through the tape loop of my Soundcraftsman EQ). That frees my preamp to just run my tape decks.

Need help on a CD player
I just spent $550.00 on an Emotiva ERC-4. I too looked at the Marantz CD6006 as a replacement for my Carver TL3200 (in which the transport finally went T-up, butt-down), the problem with Marantz right now is the supply chain has been somewhat inte... 
Have a U-Turn turntable with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Upgrade cartridge or turntable???
Dump the Orbit in a heartbeat. Music Hall are decent from my listening, Rega or Fluance are better choices. You can get a Fluance RT-84/85 w/ortofon Red MM for 499.00 USD@chakster: I too wonder why the push against certain types of cartridges. Not... 
Suggestions for an Analog Front-End
I have heard great things about the Fluance line of TTs. They are belt-driven and come with an Ortofon Red MM cartridge. Rega is good, as is a Marantz. Otherwise, you can look for vintage Marantz, Pioneer, JVC, Yamaha, Kenwood on ebay.You can find...
