How important is the amp?

Over the last few year I have upgraded my phono amp (Sensor Prelude), Turntable (SAC Girati Grande) etc.

But I have never upgraded my integrated amp, a Symphonic Line La Musica. At what point do you upgrade your amplifier. I have been looking at a 2nd hand RG10 mk 4 reference or maybe a Kraftwerk.

When I fool around with cable and other items I can still hear improvements. As long as I can still hear changes in my system when I upgrade I think my amp is still fine or is that a wrong train of thought.

Early in my career as an electronic circuit designer I released to the mechanical designer a circuit design I had created for a printed circuit board. The mechanical designer asked me to specify which interconnections within the module were critical. In doing so, he commented that "if all connections are critical, then no connections are critical."

Translation: See the first sentence of the well-stated post by Nonoise just above, with which I agree completely.
