funny thing is the PM6010 series isnt even that old... its a 1999/2000 unit so it *should* have the mod cons anyway... I have a Marantz surround receiver older than this and it still works fine.
Sad to say that newer Marantz gear IS NOT as reliable as they used to be... especially their surround stuff.
If the unit works fine and it sounds fine I dont see much reason to upgrade UNLESS you want new features like DAC, streaming etc.
I think many of us here are into "upgrade-itis"... we're searching for that elusive holy grail and admittedly many of us love the gear as much as the sound but for me, I ask myself... does all this stuff sound markedly better than the NAD 3020 I used to have???
oh well... my new SMSL A300 is in the post.
