Well, i need to buy a new cd player, but my budget its too tight, (in fact i´m using an F-2 with a very old Technics which i want to change , but not now,) my choices are: marantz CD-5003 nad C-515 cambridge audio 340-C the prices are very close, so ,what do you think ? i hear troubles about NAD is that true? my best option (i think) is the NAD or the CA(same price), the marantz is $100 above (i dont know why but i think that the marantz its the best option i´m wrong) after read a lot of forums like these, most people say C.A but in other forums say Go HANDS DOWN WITH NAD soooo i´m really confused--- the problem (i have to say) , i cant make an audition , only marantz (i´m actually living in Costa Rica) can you heeeeelp meeeee?

well it was my 2nd try with a dvd player and a bunch of cd´s but the problem still, (ears burning),i really hate that amp(i need to buy a new one) someone had try marantz? -it was my first option - (even yamaha ax 397 or 497 at very good price) thanks[8] all of you guys!!!

I´m new in hi-fi, recently bought a pair of Synergy f-2 and match them with an older technics integrated amp (su-2500) with 36 watts pr chanell(direct from the 70´s), but my real "problem " is that i found it really harsh ( i have a real problem with the high frequencies ) even at really low volumes, (just 7 click´s of the volume knob) and my listening room was very small ,about 2x 6 meters when i made a critical listening i have headache (after 2 or 3 hours) and one time nausea,when i listen first on the store (with an onkyo tx 8555) doesn´t happen ,so ¿what´s wrong? ,my musical tastes are very extensive, from folk to rock ,jazz ,indie,sometimes metal,bossanova,funk , classical,etc and my source was most mp3 ..i really love my F-2 but what amp is ideal for me? i have these amps on mind: marantz sr-4023 marantz pm 5003 nad c-326 nad c-720 bee ¿onkyo? please heeeeelp mee
