Hi folks - thanks for reading my very first post! It's been a long time since I entered the glittering world of hi-fi, but my old system is showing its age and I wanted to ask your collective advice.
I have an Arcam Alpha 7 cd player, a Marantz PM66SE amp and a pair of Mordaunt Short MS20i Pearl speakers (remember them?!).
My problem is that one channel of the amp has stopped working, and music played through the other channel is occasionally interrupted by a loud static 'pop' which stops all sound from the speakers for several seconds....
I've been quoted about £40 for an investigation by a generic electrical repair company, but am I flogging a dead horse? Would I be better to replace the amp, or even trade in the whole system?
Thanks in advance!
