A recent reviewer said, “When the CDs and DVDs have won the market and piracy is on top, Denon’s DP-29F has taken me 20 years back when I used to play my vinyls on my Phillips turntable. When purchasing, I had a lot of doubt regarding its quality. I put my first LP on it with hesitation,but to my utter astonishment, I listened a true rich and nice sound which at once made me nostalgic! THANKS DENON FOR YOUR PRODUCTION..”

A recent reviewer said, “I like this turntable. It has a USB on front (some are in the back). It is automatic and so lifts and returns. I have listened to the mp3 files created with the USB and they sound good to me. If you want to convert or play your LPs, then this might fit your need. It did mine. The only problem is, you have to train your children to not bounce around when it is playing.”

“A gorgeous, full automatic turntable that doesn’t break the bank” Lewis Leong, TechRadar // Read the review

A recent reviewer said, ” I was in the market for a turntable and wanted a fully automatic as my tremors would prove disastrous for both a tone arm and record if I had to play them manually. This Denon is a smooth, quiet, nice looking turntable and is easy to set up and I even installed a cartridge upgrade myself with a Sumiko Pearl which I ordered with the turntable from here. It’s a great performer and the price is very reasonable….Denon has been making record players for over a hundred years….they got it right.”

A recent reviewer said, “To provide some background I’ve been an audiophile since my late teens and sold high end audio in the 70’s. I bought this receiver along with a pair of PSB 5’s, C4, and Infinity PS38 with the Samsung BD-F7600 Blue-Ray. This was for a vacation home and my original intent was to have decent 2-channel stereo for CD’s but thought it would be nice to enhance the dialogue on our Panasonic plasma panel for movies and HD broadcast. The Crutchfield rep steered me toward this 3.1 system but in the end I had problems getting the receiver to work with 2 brand new Comcast HD boxes with one being a DVR as neither box worked reliably with the Marantz using HDMI. After a week of technical support calls, changing cables, boxes, etc. I said enough. Part of my discontent also centered with the Marantz Pure-Direct 2-channel performance as CD’s from the Samsung Blue-Ray through the Marantz sounded processed and muddy. I don’t know if this was the Samsung or the DAC in the Marantz but definitely not audiophile quality. There were also annoying random static sounding clicks or pops in quiet passages that were not evident when the Samsung was connected to the Panasonic panel via HDMI and played through the internal speakers. After using Audissey to set levels my wife and I watched a few movies and several HD content shows and frankly, found the dialogue easier to understand using the Panasonic speakers so it went back. I’ll blame Comcast for the connectivity issues – a dysfunctional company.”

“A fantastic player and immense value for money. Its predecessor was already a winner, and this has topped it.”

“…the new Marantz CD6005 sounds very nice indeed. Treble is crisp and spacious….while the midband is smooth and open with a good sense of image placement. Bass does its own thing happily, sounding surprisingly strong and tuneful…and the overall result is a very enjoyable rendition of REM’s ‘Maps and Legends’.”

“If you are in the market for components of this type under $1,000, the Marantz PM6005 Integrated Amplifier and CD6005 CD Player should be on your short list.”
Don Disbennett, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity

A recent reviewer said, “I was prompted to purchase the Marantz CD5004 player because of the fine review it was given by Stereophile magazine and its placement on their recommended components list. It is the least expensive player in the Class C category. The Marantz replaced a 14 year old Sony player that was highly regarded when it was purchased. My wife and I were totally unprepared for the top to bottom improvement in sound. Every aspect of our sound was improved, noticeably! This player is highly recommended. Associated components are: Carver 1.5 T amplifier, Carver C-1 preamplifier and Paradigm Signature Studio 60 speakers.”

“The SA15S2 SACD-player sounds like a gem, silky, nuanced, coherently detailed, relaxed, spacial, musical and with the right amount of punch when needed. It offers a nice deep, realistically three dimensional sound. Very detailed, seemless tone reproduction at all ranges and the choices offered by the filter selection make a very complete player.A recommended buy in its price range.”

A recent reviewer said, “As to be expected, the Marantz UD5007 is excellent in form and function,as well as, sound and picture quality. I purchased the unit for its primary functions of playing music and movies on disc – whatever disc I happen to select. This unit is a nice compliment to my other Marantz components. ”

A recent reviewer said, “Marantz continues to deliver obvious benefits from their investment in R&D with this player. In addition to the sound quality, the menu is nice for accessing Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc. and requires very little time to become familiar with the user interface.”

“Musically, the AV8801 is extremely transparent and invites you into the audio presentation with a front-row seat….I can say the same for other recordings I listened to through the Marantz—they just sounded better than I had ever heard before.”

“If you do decide to go with a 4K television, this AV receiver will help. The AV8801 up-converts an HD signal to 4K, improving the pixel resolution and making the game look much crisper. The 530- to 1710-kHz frequency range is wide enough to support reference speakers and astound everyone in the room. But the big perk here is the 11.2-channel surround sound. You can have two subwoofers—maybe one up front by the television and one in the back of the room—and 11 surround-sound speakers.”
