How best to upgrade


I invested in my present set up years ago to play vinyl discs and as an afterthought added a cd player as vinyl lost favour. It was largely unused for many years as our children grew up, however recently I have re-discovered music (CDs) but feel my enjoyment is being curtailed by the lack of quality of 1 or more components. I want to upgrade but am not sure where to start, or indeed whether I would be better advised to discard everything and start again from scratch. Any help would be gratefully received.

My current CD set up consists of:

Creek Audio 4040 Amplifier
Monitor Audio R252 Speakers
Arcam Delta 70.2 CD Player

I don't know where you live, but if it's possible, I would build a relationship with a good audio dealer who can demonstrate the possibilites for you. I know it can be a little intimidating, but otherwise, you're just stabbing around in the dark. People who post here are well-meaning, but just because something pleases their taste has no bearing on whether it will make your system more enjoyable.

If a dealer is absolutely out of the question due to geography, you're just going to have to go through a process of upgrading each component at a reasonable used cost, and then selling it if it doesn't work out. Not the best way to go IMO. Good luck.
