I currently use my old beloved Rotel 931 amp. Is there anything to be gained in changing this for the Marantz 5004 or 6004 or any other amp in the £350 and below price range?
In theory that's excellent advice but in practise it's difficult to follow. When you said "do plenty of reading up" you probably didn't just mean magazine reviews, but magazine reviews are without doubt a staple source of information for anyone considering upgrading, and I've never yet come across a magazine review which explicitly recommended that you didn't upgrade. What I'm saying is that without doing a lot of research it's difficult to get factual advice with regards to upgrading well-respected discontinued products.the record spot said:The Rotels were always decent though, so probably best to do plenty of reading up before you part with anything; money, amp, etc!
