ok - so, If I'm to buy new - I'm going with the Marantz pm6003, proced circa £240.
Looking around various selling sites, there are a raft of alternatives at this price point, but some keep cropping up regularly:
Arcam Alpha 9 (in fact all sorts of Alpha's from 4 upwards)
Arcam Alpha 10
Rotel RA03
CREEK AUDIO EVO MK1
Audiolab 8000a
How do these compare to the New Marantz? Is this where my money should be going, or is the second hand options above a much better use of £200-£300???
Have I missed a second hand alternative? I did see a Musical Fidelity A3 at £350 and an A3.2 at £600 (not sure what the difference between the two is) but this seems a little steep right?
All opinions greatly apreciated - much help needed
