Hi, everyone. This is my very first, and (probably) very last post (except for "thank-yous" and acknowledgements, of course), so please bear with me as it's likely I won't know what I'm talking about!
My system is a decade old now and I've always been reasonably happy with it except that I've always felt that my choice of CD player has let it down. The system consists of the following bits and pieces: Yamaha CDX493, Rotel RA971 amp, B&W 601s2 speakers, Ixos Bronze interconnect, and QED Original BI-wire Mk2 speaker wire. Now, to my untrained ear, I've never felt that I could have chosen a better amp/speaker combination (for the money I paid for them, that is) but as I've stated previously, perhaps I could have picked a better source. I've been checking out CA 540c reviews but a different thread on this forum (more to do with CA amps than CD players) has made me a bit skittish about it. I've also been looking at second-hand Arcam stuff but maybe that sort of thing would look down it's nose at my amp/speakers? Anyway, it may be that I only need to upgrade the interconnect and that would bring about the improvements that I feel I need. Or, as I wrote in the first paragraph, I really don't know what I'm talking about and I should leave well alone! So, all help and advice will be greatly appreciated but please try not to use any technical terms as I won't know what YOU are talking about and I'll just get confused.
