Upgrading what?


I am building a system little by little as money comes along. The problem with that is that all of the components start out being terrible and as I build it they get replaced. I have a wonderful Njoe Tjoeb cd player but I dont know what my next step is. I have been saving a bit of money and dont know weather it is a smart step to upgrade my amp first or to get new speakers. I want what is best in the long run for my system. The amp I am considering is the McCormack 125 and the speakers I am looking at are the GMA Europas. What do you Audiophiles out there think?

Thanks

Every audiophile has their own purchase sequence in the upgrade cycle. This is how I did it and it worked just fine.

Speakers
Power amp
Preamp
Source (CD player)
Interconnects
Speaker wire

Save your money to buy better equipment so as to avoid frequent replacement. Buy good used equipment when possible. I bought from Audiogon with great success.

Good luck.
