Whatever you buy it will be out of date in 6-12 months!
The latest model is always better, (so they say) so I say trust your ears.
If you find that whatever you are listening to gets your foot tapping along and you are really enjoying the music, you are there!
BUY IT
One of the best (musically) systems I have enjoyed over many years was a Quad 303/33/FM3. After many years of use I stripped the 303 down, replaced many of the board components with better ones, removed the transformer and linked it up with a modified Cyrus 2 PSX unit. Ran it with Rogers LS6 speakers with handmade crossovers, kimber cable, Meridian 207cd, Thornes 160/hadcock arm.
Still will take some beating even today. So the point I'm making is good music is good music and will always remain so.
Thats what it is about. Go and enjoy, in another 3 mths there will be something else due in another 3 mths.
It goes on and on.
