Marantz or Arcam?

[Ray Singh]

I have been collecting audio equipment for a while.
After loosing storage space, i finally shifted most stuff on ebay.

I am now left with Marantz and Arcam stuff.

Which should i keep in my living room, and which should i keep for use in the garage?

Compact Disc:
Marantz CD-63 - Like new.
Marantz CD-63SE - Has a problem reading track 1 of a CD.
Arcam Alpha 1 - Good condition.
Amplifier:
NAD 310 - Like new.
Yamaha HTR-5550RDS.
Speakers:
Mission 731s

Thanks in advance.

Couldn't you just tighten up your storage space and keep it all?

I love Arcam stuff but have found it a little flaky. source select went on my alpha 9 and my cd62 had to go back to Arcam twice.

have always heard good things about nad but is it the c320 I'm thinking of?

marantz ki Sig stuff was supposed to be good.

run my.Arcam cd62 and avr100 through a pair of mission 731s if that helps.

As you have both a CD63 and an SE with a read fault, the obvious solution that springs to mind is take the CD transport out of the 63 and fit it in the SE?

Should be very simple to do and should not require any soldering as the transports normally plug in.
