OK I have just downsized my system from a full surround sound to stereo system, but now using my Yamaha A5 AV amp for stereo duties (for the time being), The rest of my system is made up of Phillips CD624 CD player and Castle Richmond speakers on Atacama stands, also use an ipod with lossless music on it.
Speaker Cable is from Curry's and interconnects are home made from satellite cable and phono interconnects, which are exceedingly old (10 years at least).
In the current setup, am I likely to hear a substantial sound improvement by uprgrading my connections between amp, source and speakers? I was thinking along the lines of QED Silver Aniversary speaker maybe with terminated ends (however I only have one set of speaker terminations on the Richmonds, but believe I could get these terminated 4 into two) and possibly either Chord Crimson or Gotham internet cable between Amp and CD.
Eventually I would like to upgrade the AV amp to a dedicated stereo amp and then eventually the CD player.
OK guys what are you opinions on the interconnects and also possible upgrades??
