hi members,
been a long time since i posted on the forums. i am now planning to upgrade my system step by step. Current as follows:
Marantz CD5001 cdp, Marantz ST7001 tuner, apple ipod 160 gb classic, CA 640A amp, Mordaunt short 902i bookshelves, chord crimson and ecosse best boy interconnects, qed silver speaker cables, pulzz line conditioner, RED isolation transformer connected to source components, full tripplite ups backup for system with dedicated AC line, custom built speaker stands.
next in line sure purchase - arcam r dock for the ipod
I want to upgrade to the next level in terms of mid priced components. planning a speaker purchase first, then amp, then cdp in that order over the next one year. not thinking of upgrading the tuner.
floorstanding speakers (60 - 80 k) : acoustic energy, monitor audio bronze/silver series, epos, quad - want full range sound in a medium size listening room - mainly country, blues music spea
amp (80 - 100 k) - thinking of creek 5350, arcam a38, roksan kandy k2, audio analogue puccini - looking for good power and punch - it was my main grouse with the CA
cdp ( 60 - 80 k) - will definitely think on the lines of naim, arcam or cyrus base models
please let me know your views on the right combinations of the above products. Value for money is most important and i do not want to pay more than a 20 % premium on international prices.
Looking forward to some help
Regards,
Jairus
