Chario Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Hi, anyone of u audition before a modded and unmodded Marantz 63 cdp??? just being curious of their difference??? recently looking for a budget cdp... My budget is $250-$350
Chario Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 Can tell me these modded cdp normally sell at what price? A $350 budget difficult to get a modded cd63 izzit? coz normally see them in the range of $500 correct at B&S forum?
Spunky Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 $350-400 can get u a unmodded cd63Ki ;) seriously recommend u to arrange for appt at skyaudio to audition the diff vers of cd63/67
hifiluv Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 unless u are set on a Marantz, with ur intended budget, u can get a decent resale NAD or Rotel cdp, for eg. a yr ago, i bought a new Marantz CD5400 with intention to get a full mod for an addition $4xx, but upon hearing the modded version, i did not find the sound i was looking for, so up to now i m using the virgin version which overtime it runs in very nicely, warm n sweet but slightly laid back compared to NAD. but again, its good for u to hear both mod and unmod version to decide. reason why i mentioned NAD and Rotel becos i find them great partners with tube amps, ;)
synthesis1624705793 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 If you are looking for smooth sounding CDP, you may consider Philips 963. Somebody's selling in buy and sell section.
2100 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 I sold my Diva CD-67SE at $380 what. Of coz I got about 7 emails within 6 hrs to get it at my place.
kenshin07 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Hi Its better that you have a listen to both modded and unmodded version. I've both Marantz CD-63 (mod and unmod). Did a 1 to 1 comparison the difference wasn't what I expected. Anyway its still a good CDP :)
D24 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Hi Its better that you have a listen to both modded and unmodded version. I've both Marantz CD-63 (mod and unmod). Did a 1 to 1 comparison the difference wasn't what I expected. Anyway its still a good CDP :) Luckily i didn't mod my cd63, but went for the mod cd67 instead. To me, the diff between the cd63 & mod cd67 is like sound to music.... :)
myhifisystem Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I'm still happy with my unmod 63KI MkII & may consider just to upgrade the clock & power supply at later date. There is definitely a difference in detail & more focus after the mod of my Arcam 9 by EAD a year ago. I consider it's worth the investment after you feel tired of your existing unit and would like to go for a change. Regards
Chario Posted September 30, 2007 Author Posted September 30, 2007 Hi, D24 What u meant by like sound to music??? A big difference??
Chario Posted September 30, 2007 Author Posted September 30, 2007 Beside B&S forum, any second hand shop in singapore most possibly selling a Marantz CD63-K1 ? coz found that quite difficult to get in forum.

D24 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Hi, D24 What u meant by like sound to music??? A big difference?? Hi Chario Its just my expression ;D I brought my cd63 to make a direct comparison with the mod cd67... Yes, a big diff..... ;)
D24 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 D24, u mean ur unmodded cd63 vs modded cd67? Yup, that's what i meant.
