Hi everyone,
Ok, so I'm moving house soon and thinking of upgrading my system. I don't have loaads of money, perhaps 1k to spend so my main question is: Will I really notice any difference?
At the moment my system consists of:
Pioneer PD-4550 CD player (bought in about 1990)
Cambridge A1 Amplifier
Mission V60 speakers on Mission stands - these are bi wired (even though my scientific head says it makes no difference!)
Now, after listening to music from my iPod and at friends houses through their computers etc I went back to buying CD's, putting them on and LISTENING! The first thing that struck me was how I have got used to not hearing music through spaced speakers, all the docking stations just don't give you that spread.
So, having about 1k my obvious choice would be the award winning Marantz CD6005, pair it with the same amp and then get some floorstanders.
I'm interested to know if I reaally will hear a huge difference? Or were CD players better back in 1990?!
Any advice and/or views would be appreciated!
Thanks
