need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain

Hi all, i am new here and this is my first post.

need some opinion and advise, which gear do you think is the weakest link that i should improve/change.

i wish to have sweet sound and detail but not fatiguing

my experience on current setup not really meet my preference  :-

- a bit forward sound 

- sometime may a little dry/harsh sounding when source recording is poor

- lack of sweet top end

pre amp - bryston bp6

power amp - lexicon nt-212 (same as bryston 3bst)

speaker - spendor sp1 

cd player - marantz cd6006

dac - rega dac

tuner - yamaha t1 & sony st-sa5es

sorry for my poor english.

thank you.

I had the BP6 as well and it’s a very neutral preamp but when paired with a Bryston 2B SST I found what you’re finding in that it was a little thin sounding.  But when I paired the BP6 with my McCormack DNA-0.5 RevA amp it was fuller and more natural sounding and much more balanced IMHO.  I’d recommend taking a look at this DNA-225 that’s a good value and should flesh things out very nicely.  You could also look at your DAC as upgrading to one of the newer R2R DACs might be more to your sonic preferences.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
