For the PM6003 Marantz took the opportunity to not only change the cosmetics of it’s much appraised predecessor PM6002 to get it in-line with the M1 design, but even extend the quality. It got special treatment to refine the sound and optimise the balance from bass to mid to highs for a performance full of harmony. The new lower impedance case shielded toroidal transformer was matched to new main capacitors which again have been aligned to a new type of power transistor capable of handling higher current and keeping better control over the speaker. More powerful transistors are mounted on a new extruded aluminium heat sink reducing resonances which could influence the sensible audio signal. All has been balanced and harmonised with the right combination of customised audio components on the right place of the circuitry. Tight bass, clear stereo image and a wide sound stage is the result. Be amazed!

The Marantz PM5003 integrated amplifier is the first in its class to offer the current feedback architecture, which has so far been used in far more expensive models. This technology offers very fast and accurate signal handling, which results in a very open and precise music image. The PM5003 opens the new range of Marantz integrated amplifiers and offers music lovers high sound quality and flexibility. A phono MM input doesn’t come standard in this class, yet Marantz includes one here, making the PM5003 even more sought-after.

Usher website
The S-520 mini-monitor is a marvel of performance, quality and price. No other Usher loudspeaker has won more awards or been lauded by reviewers more often. At just US$400 (NZ$630) a pair, the 520s are a true Hi-Fi bargain. They deliver unprecedented dynamics and response for a cabinet of this size. For 2-channel and surround-sound mini-systems, 520s are ideal. Features include a 5-inch polypropylene woofer, 1-inch dome tweeter and magnetic shielding (optional-imported on request).

The new CD 6 SE may be our entry CD player but it’s based on the same platform as its more exotic siblings. In fact all three players in the range are upgradeable from one to another so you benefit from many upgrade possibilities. This player uses the same low-contact precision slot loading CD drive as the CD Xt SE transport so you can be assured that it’s build quality is unquestionable. The CD 6 SE uses our latest SE engineering to raise the standards over last year’s model that was voted CD product of the year 2006 by What Hi-Fi.

In our opinion, the CD 6 SE comfortably out performs the CD 8 X. See our upgrade information to learn how you can upgrade from many CD models to a new ‘made for high-end audio’ Servo Evolution model.
