Default Bought the Pearls


Quite a story on these guys, picked up the CDP and Integrated today. The seller wasn't motivated to sell, and I didn't want to spend a fortune but we made a deal.

Both units are gorgeous and very substantial.

First impression: My TV remote (only volume or channel change) causes the CDP to eject or advance a track. Never encountered this before.

Over the next few weeks I'll post my thoughts.

My Peachtree Nova's remote also interacts with my Marantz SA-15S2.

Congrats on your purchase!

LOL, apologies for the delay.

Here are some pics, hope to post a review soon. Since I redid everything, I want to swap in components (like the MA6500) to really hear differences and post my thoughts. Right now just enjoying the music.
