With black friday upon us im using the discount to upgrade my system and have a dilema.Budget of around £750
Current system is
Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT turntable
Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 floor standers
2022 Yamaha AV amp

Upgrade choice im looking at is combination
Marantz pm6007 Integrated amp (What HiFi Winner) £369
And wiim ultra streamer (What HiFi Winner) £279

Or just
Arcam A5+ £749 Integrated amp (What HiFi Winner) £749

My logic is Arcam will be future proof for many years and will add a streamer when i have more funds
Or grab Marantz and Wiim as also great kit and good deal

Any thoughts most welcome

The Marantz is a great amp, and hard to beat at the price, however, getting a bit long in the tooth, will it be replaced and be available cheaper in future?

A quick google tells me you can get you can get the Arcam for £550, maybe £500.

I would also be considering the Audiolab 6000A, you can get the outgoing model for £299 in silver or £399 in black. this amp was five star rated in WHF a couple of years ago at £750.

They are all great amps, I don't think you will be disappointed.
