I have always felt that the best way to change (improve?) the sound of your system is to upgrade speakers. If there are speakers out there that you definetly feel are a major improvement in sound you will find that all your sources will sound better and when you do upgrade the source it will sound even better. But you most be careful that the new speakers are really an upgrade and not a sideways movement
phono amp or not.
Decisions can be so hard sometimes. Soon I'll hopefully be getting a bonus from my work. I would like to spend some on improving my system. However there are two things I could do. But sadly I cannot do both. The two things I could do are:
1) Sell my speakers and by new speakers. This will hopefully improve my system overall. Meaning both my analog and digital sources will benefit from an speaker upgrade hopefully.
2) By a separate phono amp. This should hopefully improve my analogue source a lot. Since I don't like to keep upgrading I would like to do it right the first time and have a phono amp that will keep me happy for years to come.
But a new phono amp means I will also need to invest in some interlinks etc. Meaning this a phono amp might be more expensive then new speakers. However I can spend $100000 on speakers (not that I have that kind of money) but if my phono amp isn't up to par it might not be the best investment.
So what to do?
Also I live in Europe. So to get an idea what is available to me check audio-markt.de
Ps Can anyone share their experience with Blue Amp Surzur?
