Marantz’s CD-7 is one honey of a Compact Disc player, and one i could live with until 16bit digital audio disappears for good. By any standards it’s a gifted music maker, but neither is it perfect. Just recently the competition’s been getting tough – Arcam’s FMj23 CD runs it pretty close in many respects for two grand less, whereas Niam’s similarly priced CDX is even more bouncy and rhythmic – if you can stomach its lack of tonal colour. All in all the Marantz CD-7 comes heartily recommended though, and you can bet your last Wham CD that it’ll be a future classic.
