Just to update that I have finally managed to fix my Marantz (no thanks to Sevenoaks HiFi). As suggested by some members I first went to the retailer but as expected got the answer that since it was out of warranty they could only fix it for free if the manufacturer authorised the repair and...

Thanks Chebby for the make & model and the link to website and The Record Spot, mathewpiano for your good suggestions, I will definitely go that route first and see if I can convince the retailer to have it fixed, if not then I will try replacing the assembly myself but only as a last resort...

Hi, Two years ago I bought a brand new Marantz CD6002 from a high street retailer and within the first year of purchase it developed a fault that whenever I pressed the eject button the tray would open and then close back immediately so sent it back to the shop which had it repaired from the...

IanS1:Have you tried their forum?http://www.littledot.net/forum/index.php Sure would do that and thanks for the link.

IanS1:There's a chap over on the CyrusUnofficial forum who has tried the little dot transport and rates it quite highly, not sure if he's tried the DAC though. Hi IanS1, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping someone here may have had some experience of the DAC_I and can share some info. I will...

Hi, After taking the advice of many helpful forum members here, I bought myself a new CA 840A V1 amp two weeks ago which sounds awesome. Now I want to add a DAC to my setup to play music from my computer and need your valued advice once more. After having read many reviews and threads about...

tonky: Hi Nadeem, If you have the chance of a 30 day trial with the CA 840A take it. I have the 840v2. It's a great sounding amp with loads of controlled power. Very spacious and detailed sound. I think you will like it. Please report back and tell us all what you think. tonky I finally...

Just read this thread on the forum about the build quality of CA 840A v1, is it really that bad? http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/58487.aspx Regards Nadeem

Hi everyone, Thanks for all your suggestions and views. As I mentioned earlier tone controls are a must for me in an amp so I cannot consider any amp without them. Today on my way back from work I stopped at the local Richers and asked the dealer if CA 840A be a good match for my B&Ws and he...

Hi everyone, I have been using Rotel RA-04 with my B&W 685s for the last 3 years and wondering if I were to upgrade the Amp what will be the most obvious upgrade path from Rotel considering that it MUST have tone controls as I sometimes listen to very old home made cassette recordings which...

I have heard both Rotel RA-04 and PM6002 with CD6002 and B&W 685s. I tried them both twice in a day and everytime I found that the midrange on the PM6002 was very suppressed compared with a very open and detailed midrange on the RA-04. So I bought the Rotel. Marantz produced smooth and detailed...

Thanks 303! Looked at the link you provided and I was stunned to see a machine which was made during 1980-81 in such an immaculate condition (at least the pictures suggested it). How could it survive in this condition for all these years is beyond me to be honest. The only reason I can think of...

I have got the Marantz CD2006, Rotel RA-04 and the B&W 685s and the sound is sweet. The 685s produce a very tight and authoritative bass with clear midrange and sweet and detailed high end. I also live in an apartment but don't find the speakers too boomy. Since I don't have much space on the...

Thanks Claire! I thought i'd ask just in case. As you may be aware that the Dragon still sells for a lot of money and does not justify a more than 50% of the total value of my hifi system (Marantz CD6002 + Rotel RA-04 + B&W 685). Indeed if Nakamichi is the way to go then I shall keep my eyes...

Claire, Andrew, anyone!
