(Yet another) Fuz appeal to the tech heads on here...
So I've had a marantz PM-66SE amp for 20+ years now but it seems to have died on me... 20+ years of good service, and me not having to even consider the pros and cons of any other amps.
So is it worth getting it repaired? or replaced?
If the answer to the above is replaced.... Has anyone got / heard / know anything about those Valve amps you see in swanky set ups?
All the anecodtal evidence suggests that valve amps are best for turntables & vinyl and have that "warm" sound... But do they really and are they worth the money?
The Marantz PM-66SE seems to be replaceable for under £100... I could be tempted by a fancy valve doodah but only if it comes recommended by the VG+ braintrust.
Thanks in advance to anybody who replies...
