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 would suggest:
Determine your budget
Prioritise what you want
Understand your room/listening position
Consider appropriate room treatment
Audition appropriate speakers
Find appropriate matching amp for speakers
Find appropriate matching pre/lne controller for amp
Find appropriate sources
Find appropriate rack/stand for gear
Choose appropriate cables
Set up appropriately
Reconsider appropriate room treatment

Good luck!
