Why does my amp sound better than my receiver?

i dont have one of those. imAgination maybe. anyway, youre welcome to stay in mid to lo fi if you like, i dont prefer to do so. if YOU cant hear the difference, you shouldnt spend the money needed to go high end.

btw, i RARELY spend money on equipment and usually it is used. my sacdp cost the lofty sum of $169 delivered. as a stand alone rbcdp, it is the best ive had in the house.

i imagine that i have a pretty nice sounding system:

also, i didnt hear what i wanted. i heard what i heard. i WANTED cd to sound better than vinyl and it didnt. i HOPED sacd would sound better than rbcd, it does.

i didnt know what to expect when i obtained my arc preamp, what i heard FLOORED me. no typically referred to 'tube warmth', nor rolled off top.

if you never hear these things, youll be financially richer for it and so will circuit city. if you do, youll be musically richer for it.

i can appreciate why you dont understand hearing. you arent capable nor have equipment worth listening to.
