Having been an audio dealer ,and includes all system synergies given to the
$$ budget . You first have to decide what is your max budget
from my vast experiences the front end dac or turntable and quality of Everything
especially cables, power cords Linear power supplies all effect the end result
being the most important since music Starts there ,once the signal compromised,
it cannot be made up down stream, the Loudspeaker too is on par for most important , that being said ifyou are starting with your existing Amplifier
what is yourTotal budget, and what power amplifier are you going to use ?
