    Thansk for the suggestion, but a bit of a jump into the unknown for me.

    Something like a vintage marantz 1030 (should have kept the old one!).

    Nice condition, all working.

    Yes, i saw those, thank you.

    I had a near nint 1030 last year.
    Recapped/recapiatted (?).
    I bought it on ebay for £85 and sold it for £110.

    So well overpriced.
    I did try and tell the seller on ebay, but you know how it goes.

    Overrated and definitely overpriced these days. It was the bottom amp of the Marantz range at the time. Not exactly bursting with power either. Twenty years ago they were boot sale fodder. The aforementioned Denon PMA-350SE would totally stomp all over it.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
