Hi,
I have a Marantz CD52SE cd player, Marantz PM30SE amplifier and Heco Interior Plus 303 speakers (all getting on for 15 years old now). Recently I have started to get a bad crackling noise from one of the speakers. If I swap the speakers over at the back of the amplifier, the crackle comes from the other speaker. I get the crackle whether I use the CD player or my TV as input.
I conclude from this the amplifier must be the problem. Do you agree this makes sense?
I'm guessing that it's not something that's likely to be cost effectively repaired. Do you agree?
So, I think I'm left looking for a replacement. I imagine the modern equivalent would be something like a Marantz PM4001OSE. Does that sound like a good choice, or is there something better for similar money (about £200 I think)?
I don't imagine I'd get the opportunity to try out different models with my own set up at home with this kind of budget, so I'm hoping that you guys can help me. Thanks very much in advance.
