Hi all, my kit (in sig) is about six years old, and to be fair has certainly not been overused in that time. However, the CD element of the Solo started to skip on the first track or so. I have tried cleaning the lens and drive assembly, but to no avail. I emailed Arcam, asking what the CD unit was and how difficult is it to replace, but no answer.
I had been thinking of the Marantz PM6005 & Marantz CD6005 combo, which are available for about £540 (plus cables etc.). However, would appreciate any views/comments re alternatives (I could up the budget to around £1k).
The advantages of the above would seem to me to be that they should be a good match to each other, build in DAC, phono stage etc. at a very reasonable price. I assume that they should work ok with my Monitors?
Reading the blurb that came with the speakers, it recommends that these should be bi-wired, which I hadn't done - would this give any noticeable improvement ?
Thanks!
