Thanks for the suggestion Thaiman, noted 🙂
But I already have 2 CDP: Marantz CD7300(HiFI Choice Best Buy) and the famous Rega Apollo but to be honest, I prefer running music from my HDD/Mac for convenience and even with the CDPs, I still prefer my E-MU 1616 soundcard...SQ difference not as much as the mind makes you believe but the convenience is heavenly...
So much so that now the 2 CDPs are gathering dust, but I still keep them around just for completion sake, that's also the reason why I never bothered about vinyl/tunrtables either. Flipping LPs every 7 tracks isn't what I would call convenience (for me personally)...
Back to the speakers, any speakers better than the ATCs? I am interested in the Harbeth C7ES3 but they seem too bulky for a standmount....I think at best they might be a lateral switch, not a marked upgrade....
I am thinking though about the AVI ADM9 as these seem like the 'flavour of the month' lately....or the splendidly reviewed Audioengine 5A (these are not really what i had in mind as they seem like toys but maybe as a control pair since they are pretty cheap by hifi standards, cost less than my cables)....
Any inputs?
