How important is the amp?

Over the last few year I have upgraded my phono amp (Sensor Prelude), Turntable (SAC Girati Grande) etc.

But I have never upgraded my integrated amp, a Symphonic Line La Musica. At what point do you upgrade your amplifier. I have been looking at a 2nd hand RG10 mk 4 reference or maybe a Kraftwerk.

When I fool around with cable and other items I can still hear improvements. As long as I can still hear changes in my system when I upgrade I think my amp is still fine or is that a wrong train of thought.

My speakers are Dutch speaker. Very little is know about them. Dynamic Solution Master One.

I have no real info about my speakers, no clue how efficient they are or what the impedance is.

I'll contact the manufacturer to see if I can get more info.

Thank you all for the responses. I am going to try to get an other integrated amp from a distributor for testing. Just to see if it will have an impact.

I will be honest with the distributor that the chances are very slim that I'll actually buy it. But I have bought some of his products in the past so maybe as a courtesy he will loan me an amp for one or two week.

I borrowed a Octave V110 with super black box. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time to install and listen.
