Hi guys,
as I am sure most of you are aware I am currently in the market for purchasing a dedicated Stereo amp and CD player. Various ideas have been provided by the members here regarding potential combinations at the mainly around the 750.00 to £1000 price bracket.
However having recently been into my local hi-fi store I have been looking at the option of potentially buying second hand gear and have seen what I believe are some very good options for this, which to but them new would have been out of my original price bracket. These include the following:
Cyrus 7 Amp for £299.00 (£650.00 New??)
Cyrus CD6s CDP for £399.00 (£399.00 New??)
Cyrus 8 Amp for £399.00 (£850.00 new?? )
Cyrus 8 CDP for £429.00 (£1000 new?? and upgradeable to the Servo Edition later)
They also have a MF A3.5 CD for £500.00 and an MF A5 amp for £999.000 (Although this would blow my budget wide open and would probably end up divorced).
Would the Cyrus option be a good way to go and am I likely to end up with a far superior system (especially in the Cyrus 8 option) for a similar or lower amount of money. This would also mean I would have more money to invest in better speaker and interconnects and also on a turntable.
Obviously this kit would still be played through my Castle Pembroke floorstanders.
Let me know what you think about the Cyrus Kit guys compared to things like Audiolab, Creek and Roksan which were all original new options.
