Hi. I'm a Hi-Fi noob so I thought I would come here to get advice from the best.
Years ago I had the most perfect hi-fi system. It was a Rotel RA 970 BX amplifier and a Rotel RCD 950 CD player with 2 NHT SuperOne speakers. Later, I purchased a Rotel pre-amp for a Rega turntable I was given. It was the the perfect sound for me and I have never heard anything that has come close to it for my taste. Unfortunately, I lost it in a break-up about 10 years ago and have missed it dearly. It's taken a while but I am currently working on replacing it.
It has taken me about a year, but I finally managed to get a pair of good condition secondhand original NHT SuperOne speakers and now I would like to purchase the replacement Rotel componants. I was looking at the most recent Rotel amplifiers and CD players and am a bit confused and wondered if anyone had suggestions about what would be similar/comparable items in todays market. The only requirement - apart from not being too expensive - is that they have to be black.
I don't mind buying second hand Rotel. Do you think I should just keep my eye out for the same amp and CD player that I had and purchase as they become available on the market or get the modern equivalent? What are the modern equivalents?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
