I have a Cambridge Audio 640A v2 Oppo DV-980H Im playing with ELT525M from AV123 there on Sanus speaker stands I have Ultralink speaker cables and Nordost interconnect from Amp to cd... Im thinking about what i need to upgrade.. i want to do new speakers (towers or bookshelves) but i was thinking a dedicated cd player or DacMagic... i also play movies on this but music is the main focus.. I have connected my PS3 and Xbox on it...
Well i want to get the full potential out of my Amp so ill need speakers, I cannot give up my Oppo because of SACD ( the only player id be able afford that can do it all ) but i feel i wont be able the full potential of my oppo... i lisyen to alot of music jazz, rock, pop, rap/Hip-hop, world my music interests are very wide....
Nope.. tell you truth all my components have been bought blindly or based on reviews... only auditioning i did was in PA when i was looking for an Integrated i audioned the Nad C326BEE with B&W bookshelves ( XT model ) and Nad 565BEE cd player but i bought the CA 640A cause it was on clerance on audio advior...
My next suggestion is not a fun one, but can be cheap. Look at your room layout, placement and acoustics. The room is over 50% of the result. Stop buying, start listening and do some reading on room acoustics.
