Hello again.
I do quite a bit of vintage electronic stuff, but have yet to tackle a modern amp or CD player. Other than replacing caps that may have gone bad, what are the options to improve something like the NAD 3020, or Marantz CD63-mkII?
My gut feeling, is that I would be better off building a valve based amp as my first attempt at this, as I have a huge stock of valves and a fairly good understanding of the circuits involved. I would like to try a known good design first.
Anyone been there, done that? I see some ‘kits’ advertised for replacement caps, but I cannot see a point in replacing one that functions and measures well.
The speakers are very budget for just ten quid haha. I you like them by design I can highly suggest the Piega P4L MK2 as your new speakers. They are a steal scondhand (most people appartently do not know Piega). I doubt you will find a better sounding speaker in the sub €200 euro price range (secondhand ofcourse)
