I am looking to upgrade my amp, and considering either a Musical Fidelity A series, Audiolab 8000 or Arcam alpha 8 or 9, although having read reviews on this site i am less keen on the ARCAM's. Anyway these would replace a CREEK audio 4040 series 3 integrated amp, running Mission 733i speakers, inputs are Denon DCD -820 CD player, run through a Cambridge Audio DACMAGIC 1, Denon tape deck, Rega Planar 3 turntable, and Harmon Kardon TU-9200 receiver. Basically thoughts and suggestions on other amps to consider would be useful. As i say having read reviews i am not sure the ARCAMS are an upgrade on the Creek.
