Are my speakers now the "weak link"?

If you enjoy CDs not vinyl not as much then the phono setup is surely the weak link. Could just mean a tuneup of what you already have. I'd assure what you have is set up optimally fist. Lots of ways to go wrong there with phonos. Getting best possible sound our of a phono is very tricky stuff. much harder than with digital. If there are any experts you trust, I would ask them to assess what you have and offer suggestions. Have them explain what is wrong with what you have first before agreeing to change anything, then make sure the change addresses the specific issue(s). Otherwise might just be playing phono roulette until you happen to find teh right setup/combo.

Maybe some phono experts here familiar wqith your gear (I am not)can assess your setup and tell you what specifically might be improved and why.

>> What have you done to your room to make it sound better? <<

Bingo!! You already have a very nice system. Now it's time to make sure that the room is optimally tuned to take advantage of your equipment. A thousand bucks or so judiciously spent on room treatments will yield MUCH better results than another $10,000 on equipment....

Your speakers still have much more to reveal if fed by different gear.PT

no, cd, amp and phono first.

look to improve your room acoustics and then and only then start upgrading your system.
