Cyrus 6s VS Marantz SA 7001

unleash_me · #11 19th March 2008, 07:54 PM

That’s true Dinyaar. Unfortunately CD17 is no longer in production. I had one for a long time but greed took over and went for an upgrade. But I still remember the sweetness in music.

Tarun,

I was under the impression that you can get hold of the CD17. Anyways, between the SA7001 and KI version, anyday the KI version is far better. The difference in sound could be subtle if the associated equipment is not up to the mark, a better amp and speakers will reveal the difference. Go for the KI if you can push it. Another idea would be to wait, save some more and then get the player

Dear Tharun,

Which city are you based in. Why dont you do A/B comparison between the Marantz and the Cyrus and then decide.

Hi SNV and Unleashme thanks once again

I am from Trichy , here there is no Demo room so i could not hear both CD players side by side. I have not heard CD17 , but my friend tells its very good player . I dont know whether its possible to find one now. Since there is a budget constrain i am thinking of 7001 over the 7001KI , but as Unleashme said i have to wait and save some more money and go for 7001KI . but by the time i save , there may be some other models available in the market which will add to my confusion.lol

regards

Tharun

Unleashme's advice is absolutely bang on-wait, save, & go for the 7001KI; you'll never regret it.
Newer models are not necessarily better- this has been proved true time & again.
Cheers!

Hi Tharun,

While i do agree that the KI players are always better but if they are ridiculously overpriced (as it is in some parts of our country) i would go for the stock 7001 which is also a great cdp and spend on better speakers.
I am totally with kamal that newer models is not always better. Just one look at the older generation of pioneer,sansui,yamaha etc.will confirm that. The modern stereo equipment from the above cos is just not up to the mark.Having said that i would still not opt to buy a 3/4 year old Marantz cd 17 over the 7001 for various reasons.
Regards.

I have extensively listened to the cd 17mk2 and 3.You will do much better with the cyrus or even the Marantz sa-7001ki or even some arcam players.

Thanks Dinyaar , Kamal , Squarewave and Unleashme for the advice and the time you have spent to guide me. Its really helpful.
I am thinking of a Marantz 7001 and Cyrus Cd6s , but the cyrus is priced more in india . Due to the price factor i am thinking of Marantz.

hi

I just heard the CD 6002 , to add fuel to my confusions. even CD 6002 seems to good ......while auditioning along with 7001 (ordinary) i could not find much of difference , but 7001 seems to much more detailed . Is this true or just an illusion to me.

regards
tharun.

Dear Tharun,
The 6002 is a decent cdp but the 7001 is much better in every aspect of musicality and build. If the price difference is not too much go for the 7001 and u wont need to upgrade for quite a while.
With decent amplification and revealing speakers the difference in the two is noticable.
But hey its ur choice finally so go with whatever suits ur needs and pocket.
Best regards.
