Think it's time to replace the the trusty old Marantz that has seen better days, cosmetically if nothing else. My DAC just about manages to hold it all together at the moment but without it...
Can't see that she'll let my spend more than £300 (maybe £400) at the minute so budget is fairly tight. I like a nice open sound, tight bass, prominent vocals and fairly bright - that's my take on it anyway
Just wondered if anyone could offer some choices as a good starting point for audtions with the current set-up:
Amp - Rotel 970 pre & power
Speakers -B&W 685
Audio Alchemy DAC In The Box
Cables - Chord Co Flatline and Chord Co. Cobra
Any advice greatly appreciated
