A hypothetical scenario:
You have a decent system. And now you have a 25L (35,000$) to put in either the best amplification you have ever heard (for me that's Engstrom Arne) or the best Source you have heard (for me that's Nagra HD DAC, it could be analog as well). But fill in your own blank.
What would you do?
Rules in this hypothetical scenario:
- Yes, there are other ways to spend the money, but for this scenario these are the ONLY two choices.
- No, you cannot split the cash towards upgrading both or either or speakers etc.
- Assume your system is good enough for you to hear the differences.
It boils down to, if you had the means to only buy a world-class source or world-class amplification (amp + preamp) what would you do?
