Well wounded it. Long time lurker first time poster. Hello one and all.
Ive tried to clean my 20 year old Marantz PM6010SE and accidently broke the connector to allow me to switch between record player and cd. I can only play records now.
I run it through 20 year old Eltax floorstanders and have a 20 year old double cd player and recorder , again marantz.
Ive enquired at the local hi fi specialist store about a repair and service and he tells me we are unlikely to source a spare part and the cost of service would be almost as much as buying a new one.
Is there a way to run the cd player without plugging directly into the amp.
Am I flogging a dead horse and should I just buy a new system?
Ive got a grand ready to go, I believe the floorstanders are "budget" at best and besides my wife hates them.
Hearing is going, a combination of old age and sticking my head in the Bass Bin at Sabbaths concerts, so dont need anything too high end.
Any recommendations for a nice usable system of amp, cd and speakers.
All advice gratefully received.
LG
