What are the weakest components in my system?


I have a very basic system but want to know where I can improve for the least amount of money:
Thorens Td 145
Nagaoka Mp11 cart
McClelland MQ-S35 Phono Preamp
Harman-Kardon AVR146
JPW-AP3 loudspeakers

I know that this is a very basic system, but would it sound much better with a better phono stage or cartridge?

Dear Kmaclac: If I was you and if you are really interested on two channel analog system more than in HT then I will change the phonopreamp first or try the phono stage that comes in your receiver ( maybe I'm wrong and the receiver does not has a phono stage. ).

The other " move " that I will do it is to re-wire internally the speakers ( with better one. ) and maybe intent to change some parts in the crossover for better quality ones.
In the other side the IC and speaker cable that you are using to connect your audio system makes a difference and changing some of those cables could help.

You have several alternatives as you can read through each post in the thread.

Your call.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
