With your opinion you stand pretty much alone. Do yourself a favour and buy a really good amplifier and fine speakers. The weak point in your system may be the cheap integrated amp. Go for a better model or upgrade straight to a pre/power amp combo. This CD player was elected "Product of the Year" by dozens of European hifi journalists - not without a reason. If it sounds terrible in your ears, it is most probably not the player that's to be blamed. By the way, you can't compare a former 500 GBP player with machines like the mentioned Linn which cost twice as much or more. Sure, you can always benefit from a bargain offer on the 2nd hand market, but then again the Marantz might be a steal for, say, 200 GBP or even less.
