  1. Solid CD player

    Amazon
    10/10
    Reviewer: Coen, Amazon
    16 August 2008

    My Teac CD player I bought 4 years ago started having dust troubles. I had to clean the lens Monthly, than weekly, sometimes twice and it still could not play many CD's proper, even brand new ones. So again on the search for a CD player, and based on other reviews I selected this Marantz CD5001. It arrived in a few days, well packed box-in-box with lots of protection material. This player feels quite heavy and solid build, much better than the Teac. Read more

  2. Sound is good but has problems

    The CD5001 sounded a lot better than the old 18-bit Sony player it replaced. The problem is that it broke in less than 5 months. The loading tray stopped retracting. It opens fine but then wont close. The Marantz customer service phone number on the warranty card did not answer or have voice mail and they have not answered email inquirys about how to obtain service. The ergonomic design is not the most logical but that's not why I bought it for. Read more

    I love listening to music , so when my Hifi stopped working I went ballistic. For some reason the music wouldn’t play, the power would come but the sound wouldn’t come through. I had to buy a new Hifi. I didn’t know much about buying Hifi, so I asked my brother to buy me one. My brother bought me the Marantz CD5001 from for around £230. When I found about the price I was shocked at how expensive it was. Read more

    If you want a cheap player that does the job like the big boys, this may be your choice. Read more

    • Sound and build quality, looks, price
    • Although not a disadvantage for me, it does not play MP3/WMA
