I would guess if your speakers allow you to hear the difference between various electronics and cables they would more warrant / demand better upstream.
I have Vandersteen 2Cis with Sunfire pre and power an NAD 541ci cd which are good enough to end up being at the mercy of the recording? Some sound as good as I can imagine they get, at least to my ears, and some music I really love is almost unlistenable because of the poor recording.
Is that as good as a system can get? that the weakest link seems to be the recording?
