WHARFEDALE 10 VERSUS 9.4 AND MARANTZ 6003 VERSUS DENON 710AE

[admin_exported]

HI ALL, I'M NEW TO THIS AND HAVE JUST BOUGHT A PROJECT GENIE 3 WITH 2M CARTRIDGE TO RE-AWAKEN MY SLEEPING VINYL AND NEED TO PARTNER. HOW MUCH BETTER IS THE NEW WHARFEDALE 10 SERIES THAN THE OUTGOING SERIES 9. I HAVE SOURCED SOME 9.4'S AT BELOW £160. DO I GRAB THEM OR SAVE FOR THE NEW 10'S? ALSO MY DEFAULT AMP OPTION IS THE ROTEL RA04 BUT THE MARANTZ 6003 WILL BE REVIEWED THIS MONTH SO WHAT IS THE BETTER BUY, ROTEL, MARANTZ OR THE NEW DENON 710AE? MY EARS ARE IN YOUR HANDS. BUDGET DOES PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART (SO THE WIFE TELLS ME) AND MY MUSICAL TASTE IS VERY ECLECTIC! MANY THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE.DD.

HII ALL, AS A NEW FORUM USER I GUESS I MAY HAVE PLACED MY BLOG DATED 7TH AUGUST FOR HELP IN THE WRONG CATEGORY BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A SINGLE REPLY, COMMENT OR SUGGESTION. SO WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE FORUM I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO MATCH MY PROJECT GENIE 3 WITH A ROTEL RA 04 AMP, NAD 515BEE CD AND WHARFEDALE 9.4 FLOORSTANDERS. ANY COMMENTS? GOOD CHOICES OR NOT? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS RE THE BEST CABLES TO USE. THANKS. DD
