Octopo:What is your budget? ~£300? What are your amp / speakers?

My amp and speakers are early 90s Technics, as is my current CD player. I'm planning to spend about £300 on new speakers (probably Usher S520 or Focal Chorus 705v) with the about the same left over for new CD player (upgrade of amp to follow...).

My current CD player doesn't have a digital out, otherwise I might have just bought a DAC. I might think about buying a s/h CD with digital out (from ebay), then adding a DAC if the sound could be improved. Any thoughts?

I'd be inclined to check out new deals or the BADA marketplace - you get the benefit of a hefty discount AND a warranty for a year or thrown in. On Ebay, I'd suggest Lintone Audio who get a good write up and they're decent folk having spoken on the phone to them a few times. Billy Vee in London would be another.
