Hi All,
First post so please be gentle with me!
My current kit consists of Sony CDP761 CD player, Nad 5120 turntable, Music Fidelity Elecktra E10, and Mission 733 floorstanders, and it's pretty old (15-20 years). If I remember correctly, these components were pretty good at their respective price points at the time and they've served me well.
Recently, my turntable packed in, and the CD player is now struggling to read discs (it's not the discs, and I've tried a lens cleaner), but given their age, I've ruled out trying to get them repaired, so I need to replace them. I was considering Project Essential or Genie 3 and Marantz CD6003, as these seem good choices given my budget, so I suppose a side question is whether the knowledgable folk on this forum agree with these?
But the main question is whether my amp and speakers will hold back my new equipment? I should probably point out that both the speakers and amp are showing signs of age cosmetically, and I've noticed that one of the speakers has developed an occasional (but annoying) buzz in the tweeter when playing certain frequencies.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
