marantz cd80 caps

honsten · 8th February 2004, 02:52 PM

hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone knows of a place or person who will replace ALL the capacitors in my lovely marantz cd80. it sounds fine as it is but those caps are about fifteen years old and could do with a change.
cheers.

I would do that for you but since I am in Holland that won't be the most practical solution

Normally I replace ALL caps except the big 6800 uF ones. I add a low jitter clock with separate supply/transformer and replace opamps too. Too bad I don't have a CD80 myself

I like your signature but :

ner ner,i have the knowledge for modding a marantz cd80 and YOU dont!

cool,
im no expert at all this hi-fi stuff but do you know how much the cd80s cost when they were new? i got it off a family friend who's into all that stuff and he said it was a piece of history (in a good way).is he right,is it really THAT good?

All I can say is: use the Search function !

CD80 is one of the best IMO. Please use quality parts and do things right, the cdplayer is worth the effort.

i don't mean to sound stupid but what is an IMO?

Mine is probably coming up for sale later this year

jean-paul · 9th February 2004, 01:34 PM

Price will be high I guess....

What do you think it is worth (is that correct English

?)
It has OPA627's in it. No further mods.

BTW here http://www.wenwaudio.nl/product.htm is also one for sale. According to me this is a cheap one.
