Recently upgraded my speakers to PM1's and now I am not sure which way to go next.
I know I am not really happy with my amp Arcam A28 during my speaker audition the A19 was used and the speakers sounded great.
Don't get me wrong they do sing but I have to crank up the amp and my wife is always telling me to turn it down lol
I have just discovered FLAC and am currently playing the files from an external hard drive connected via USB through my oppo with the right recordings these sound amazing
So question 1 would a dedicated music streamer improve the sound
I also have a Project Debut Carbon which I think punches well above it weight Vinyl is my first choice of listening medium
So question 2 should I try a dedicated phono stage or upgrade my amp I am leaning towards the amp
I should imagine some people will think upgrade the turntable but on my speaker audition I also had a listen to a£2200 rega turntable running through Naim amps and the jump in quality was not as huge as the speaker jumps as the price increased.This could have been due to the fact that Naim amps apparently don't gel so well with B&W
thanks for looking
