I have a mint condition Marantz CD6000 OSE CD player for sale.
I have the remote control, the operation manual and even the original box.
My reason for selling is that I purchased a Marantz SACD player which made this player redundant.
SOLD FOR $185 + shipping.

exerpt from the review:
Based on the Marantz 6000, the 6000 OSE upgrades the power transformer with a larger core and oxygen-free copper. The OSE uses an additional bottom plate in the structure to increase the rigidity of the player. Marantz also use an additional HDAM (their amplifier module stage) for current to voltage conversion in the output stage and numerous other tweaks.
The appearance of the 6000 OSE is simply gorgeous and the player looks much more expensive than its price tag indicates. The superbly finished thick aluminium front panel is the main reason for this. The front panel is very well designed, with the most used controls having larger buttons. This means that your finger will automatically go to the play or stop button, rather than accidentally hitting the track skip button.
The 6000 OSE includes a rarity on CD players these days: a headphone output. Not only that, but the volume from the headphone output can be increased or decreased via the remote control.
The Marantz 6000 OSE is a superb performer - easily among the best at this price, or even for several hundred dollars more.
The Marantz excelled in portraying the tonal structure of instruments, making many other competing players sound like caricatures in comparison.
For example, on orchestral works the OSE excelled with the tonal intricacies of the string and woodwind sections. This is something that a lot of the more affordable CD players struggle to convincingly recreate.
A great jazz drummer can create music solely from using the cymbals. I found the OSE's portrayal of cymbal work stunning.
The Marantz was an incredibly detailed player. Unlike some components that sound "detailed" the OSE did not thrust information at your face. Instead, it allowed the detail and information to emerge from the speakers, in a realistic form. Nice!
