After 20 years I have finally been able to get my hifi gear out of the loft, connected up and working, well that is what I hoped.
Unfortunately there was a leak in the roof that was repaired last year but it has done some lasting damage to some of the gear.
The box with my Rega Planar 3 was directly under the leak and has rusted solid, not a good start, the vinyl collection seems a bit warped so that part of the collection is a bit of a no go.
Now the working kit, CD Player is a 33 year old Marantz CD50SE running through an Arcam Alpha 8 amp and into KEF Q35 speakers bi wired.
The LP's that have been ruined wasn't a big collection so unlikely that I will replace the vinyl or deck, my focus will be on getting the most from a sizeable CD collection, so I would welcome some suggestions on which direction to go with my kit.
My initial thought would be to upgrade the CD Player but to what? Budget for this change would be upto £750 but could push it a bit if necessary.
Any suggestions, input or feedback to help me get the best from my CD collection would be very welcome.
Thanks .
