Hope that you like it Bob. About 5 years ago my very expensive CD player started skipping and I decided not to fix it because unfortunately I was experiencing "listening fatigue" anyway after listening to a couple CD's. So I did alot of research and decided that because I dont really listen to alot of CD's (I am really just a vinyl guy) and that I didnt want to spend the kind of money that I did on my previous player, I landed on the Marantz CD6006. I find that it has a very natural sound, much like vinyl with no "listening fatigue". There is some music that I love that just isn't available on vinyl so I occasionally really do need a CD player and I think that I got the right one for me. Hope that you find the same. I think that the 6007 replaced the 6006.
