Hello, again, people of avforums. The last time I posted was some 12 years ago, when you matched a PM66SE Ki-Sig and a set of Tannoy R3s; it has been superb. Now that the amp has given up the ghost (one channel has cut out), I would dearly appreciate further input.
So, in the big, bad, scary world of buying another budget amp (last time I posted, I was a student, but finances still tight), I have enlisted:
- Marantz PM6006
- NAD C350
- Cyrus 2
- Cyrus 8
Nowadays, I tend only to listen to music via 320 kbps/Spotify Premium and am still inclined towards the second-hand market. Would I be better served by an amp that offers DAC? Would listening to music at this rate render a Cyrus redundant?
The Tannoys are going strong, as you might imagine.
Budget: £300/400 but, as I am between jobs, the lower the better.
Can you help with views on best value/most appropriate purchase?
Am really grateful for any help that you can provide,
Omar
