I've had some vintage gear upgraded and the results were very nice, but the Gershmans deserve way better than an upgraded A7. But, keep and enjoy the Onkyo also...
... should I Buy a New Integrated, or upgrade/update/rewire my existing...
Simple question:
If I want more power I go for a New Integrated: thinking about Rowland Continnum S3 (plenty of power; does it have a pre-ou/main in?)... Not cheap - but a Final-kind-of-purchase, and live out life with it. ANy lower cost suggestions - either vintage or newer, but only stuff you listen to daily please...
Or if not: take my existing Integrated - Onkyo A7 - and upgrade the internal wiring, update whatever the tech thinks will make a sonic improvement, and replace the power cord (not detachable) with a better new direct-wired in one...
Thoughts please...
