Audiophile beginner with a question...

Hello!

I have begun my venture into audio with my purchase last week of B&W DM601 S2s. Right now, I am using a Marantz 2215b, and a Fisher CD player. (Which by the way, I will be getting rid of since it is old, and I am doing things little by little on a college budget.)To get to the point of things, here is my question:
What would you guys recommend for me in terms of a good starter CD player, and amp and pre-amp. This receiver is not cutting it, and the static is bad! By the way, the music I listen to is pretty much classic rock, and jazz.
Thank you very much!!!

Oooops! Sorry 'bout that. If I didn't, I meant to include the address for AudioSource's web site:

To shop around a little more, bookmark this site for a listing of audio manufacturers:

There are a ton of good amps and preamps out there, but in my opinion AudioSource is one of the best brands you can buy when first starting -- really solid performance from affordable components.

Sony's less expensive CD players are also good buys. Should be better than the Fisher player you're using now ...

Good luck!
