picked up a rotel rcd 965bx saturday night for the grand sum of 99p!!!
ok theres a few scratches on the top and its missing the eject button, but its fully functional in otherwise good condition, with it being old im not entirely sure which kit i should be pairing it up with. ie, budget or mid ? as ive no idea what it retailed for. i realise price isnt everything but it wold guide me as to what sort of thing i should be looking for. again ebay will be my port of call, and more than likeley something of the same era (ish) as it seems to be the most cost effective way of doing this. ive been looking at stuff like rotel ra-820ax/920ax and some marrantz stuff like pm66se. and also old nad models - 3020 ?
am i on the right lines ? im not really in a position to audition due to the stuff im looking at being so old, so i would appreciate if any of you have owned anything like this in the past, if you could give me a clue on the characteristics of some of these it would be great.
will be using chord rumour 2 spk cable, cambridge pacific ic, and for the time being wharfedale 9.0 speakers, which started this little quest,but i get the feeling the stuff im getting will outclass them ??? - i didnt realise there were so many bargains out there!! so will be looking for replacements soon i think. though they will have to wait as will prob want new, not sure about s/h speakers - any bad experiences out there?
