Hi all,
I've been researching the right amp for my budget and, like most, I end up finding UK websites and retailers who have given the PM6006UK either a top award, top review, sometimes for the last few years in a row. It seems like a popular amp with a great sound for the price point.
I was going to arrange a demo at my (not so local) branch of Richer Sounds of course, as they pair it with Monitor Bronze 2 speakers, which I like the look of and have great reviews. But then I found this video:
Goodbye Marantz PM6006 UK Edition - Noise On Digital Input
And after digging in the comments, it seems that others (in UK and abroad) have had the same issue, with Marantz repair returning units saying there's no problem; with direct replacement units also having the same problem - leading some to say that either that 'batch' was faulty, or the entire product is faulty.
Rather than just leave it at that, I've searched forums/blogs/retailer comment sections etc expecting to find quite a lot of reports, if this is such a known issue. But, can't find more than half a dozen.
Does anyone in the UK who has this model (bought in the last few months) have any info or experience of this buzzing issue? I'm hoping Marantz acknowledged and fixed it - then I can get on with a demo
cheers,
Chris |
