I've been keeping an eye on eBay as suggested but no more Rotel 1062 at present. I haven't a clue what other pre-loved models I should look for. I have no objection to using eBay, that's how I got my Tascam and at a very decent price but I knew what I was looking for in that instance, not...

I'll keep my eyes peeled on ebay but so far not a 1062 to be seen amongst the Rotels on offer. The snag with the Rotel (and NAD) is the lack of a phono stage, necessitating a further spend and more decisions!! Cambridge Azur 551p perhaps? My existng NAD 310 doesn't have a pre-amp either and I...
