Hello everyone! I'd appreciate your thoughts on choosing between the two amps: Marantz PM7005 or Pioneer A-70.
I have a chance od getting one of these for the same (and very fair) price, both used.
Which one would be the better option? I don't have much experience and this will be my first "real" amp. I will be using it with my Pro-ject debut carbon (Ortofon OM red) and I will play the music through the integrated DAC via PC. I currently have Q Acoustics 3020 but later I plan a speaker upgrade, also standmounters/bookshelf speakers.
Music is mostly rock, post rock, blues, acoustic, electronic, and some singer songwriter, jazz and soul. My living room is approximately 30 square meters. I prefer somewhat warmer but defined sound and a nice stereo image.
If someone has experience with the stated amps, I would very much appreciate if you could tell me how do they compare regarding:
- power and sound quality
- mm phono preamp
- dac
Hope for some fast replies if possible Thanks so much! Tom
