The transducers are the least “preciae” part of any system, changing energy from one form to another, recording or playback. So for home that means speakers and phono cartridges. For recording that means speakers and microphones. Generally speaking these two areas deserve the most attention and investment in any system. This idea that amplifiers are the best way to upgrade a system is not true. It could be a good idea to upgrade a good anmp to a great one when the other areas are sorted.
