Thanks for the thoughtful responses. I learned a bit more from searching prior threads. To be more specific with my quandary, I have a very nice pair of Linn Sara 9 speakers that work well in my room (close to wall, further from big dogs...). I am currently using a YBA Integre int. amp with Rega Planet CD. Although I like the sound of the CDP, I'm afraid the Integre doesn't have enough oumph for the fairly inefficient (isobarik) speakers. I've been considering getting a more powerful integrated amp, but thought I might look into an amp/CDP direct pairing to give me a bit more bang for my buck.
I've put the Theta Miles and Resolution Audio 50/55 on my short list, but perhaps there's an integrated amp that would work well with my Rega Planet? I am partial to the "musical" (i.e. British) sound.
Actually, another thread might be in order...
