How does my Marantz CD6000 OSE LE compare to modern CD players?

I have no idea, my CDP has a minor fault with the rear audio connectors meaning it will often go into one channel. This can probably be fixed for around £30 but if a £100 new CDP will perform better I could just upgrade it.

What do you think?
 
I have no access to the underneath of the board, it would mean removing the transformers, the DAC board etc, I know I will just end up breaking it.

looks pretty much like my cd5001ose which has been modified quite a bit, i along with some help managed to elevate the sound of my cd player to that of units costing up to a grand, and i was a diy virgin as well. they are quite easy to work on and it sounds as though you have a very minor problem. your cd player should still sound better than anything under £200 so it's worth keeping
 
I also had a 6000 ose le, but it was easily bettered by my then next cdp, the Rotel RCD 02, and these can be picked up fairly cheaply, usually around a third of their £380 rrp.
Having said that, if yours will only cost £30 to fix, stick with it, unless of course the upgrade itch has started.........
 
I will see how much my car costs on Monday if I get some change I will consider it. My other main source is a M Audio 24/96 both going into a Cambridge Azure 640A.
 
Hi Zanash
i have not been around much as i have been unwell again i'm afraid, the cd player is still going well thanks to you and your help. I don't get to use the hifi much due to the kids but it's nice when i do
