System: Naim CDI/Hi Line interconnect; Naim 82/Hi-Caps x 2/250; Shahinian Arc speakers; Russ Andrews Sig. Powerkords throughout; Ultra PurifierBlock Ag; Crystal 24 speaker cable; Torlyte Platforms.
I would like to upgrade my system in 3 steps: CD player, Amp & speakers (but not necessary in this order).
I'm thinking of a new CDS3 / PS555 but would I get a better system if I search out a used CD555 / PS555 for about the same price?
As for the Amplifier, again would I be better off with a new 252/supercap/250, or a used 252/supercap/300 for about the same price?
For the speakers, I'm thinking between TMC or B&W - which model should I go for, or do you have other suggestions? What is your advice about purchasing used speakers?
If buying secondhand, I may not be able to get an audition, so your accurate advice is of importance. With any of the above combination, would they be a hugh upgrade over my present system?
Finally, what sort of price should I sell my CD player, amp. and speakers for? They are all unmark, in excellent condition with original boxes and manuals.
Would appreciate your advice and comments.
Many thanks.
