I am finding this thread intriguing as I am looking at upgrading my source, probably with either a Cambridge 640c or the Music Hall 25.2, but am also looking to replace my amp soon, looking at the same model lines. I keep going back and forth as to which to replace first, and these postings have me questioning how important the source is vs the amp. All thoughts are appreciated. If it matters, my speakers are paradigm studio 20s. Thanks

Here you are Funnyhat.I looked up your speakers,I'm assuming they cost around $500.With that kind of purchuse your in it for the long haul.You have many options.CA, MH ,NAD etc..Then of course you have to consider speaker wire,interconnects and possibly power cords and power conditioners and the such.I also already directed you to a web site that carries CDP's and AMP's.I'm going to have to cut you loose now because with my set up I avoided amps and speakers.However,I'm sure some other people on this forum could carry you to the promise land.

Once you up in this league with your digital source you can sleep easy knowing that your getting all that you can from your CD's.
Hi Geoffcin. I just ordered a 73T from my audio dealer. I did demo it but I'm always nervous with audio component purchases. I know how subjective this stuff is. The more I researched the 73T the more I came to the conclusion that if it's not the best $700 player it's dam close. I'm trying to not be unrealistic about how much better My system will sound with the 73T. I'm replacing a 14 year old Rotel CDP and I'm hopeful the arcam will be a big step up in overall performance.I have Rotel amp and pre-amp played through B&W 703's. The 703's are too bright with my existing configuration. I'm very curious to see how the 703's interact with the Arcam. They were a big investment and if the 73T improves their sound I'll be thrilled. I've already thought ahead and know at some point I could upgrade the 73T to the upsampling version with hardware change to further improve sound.
