Indeed I did do a VRDS-20. For balanced operation, I would prefer the Marantz. As a transport, it probably would be the VRDS-20. Both very well made. Neither exited me sound-wise though.
@@vagk It all depends on the price range, But in general: California Audio Labs CL-15 (mid price) MHZS CD88E (Chinese) Wadia 16 (top end) I also liked Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP but I am into EC sound a lot. Some others too, but these have stuck in my mind.But it is a personal thing and also depends on the music you are listening to. I am into acoustic jazz and want the instrument sound real and the player to have slam and good resolution. And imaging.
This Cd player is on my list 😀 nice video again 👏
From your experience, how do you compare this CD player to the TEAC VRDS 20 and 25?
I only ever had VRDS 10 & 15 in my workshop so cannot comment
@@hear-net-au I saw on your channel you have a video with Teac VRDS-20

Hi, do know of any usher mini dancer 2 in Perth? Regards
No I don't. I've seen couple of pairs at Chamila's place in Hamersley, but it was some years ago and they probably weren't the 2 version.
