That is a good selection of gear...I have had good experience with Phase Tech, don't know the other speakers. I'd go up one step on the Cartridge and consider speaker cables..or a power cable to the amp.

These days there are alot of companies building very fine audio cables for reasonable prices.

If you are looking for a cable upgrade, then I would suggest StraightWire. These cables were the ones I first started out with and I was very content with their performance. Plus, they have been around forever and have a proven track record.

StraightWire Encore IC's
StraightWire Maestro speaker cables
StraightWire Info-link digital cable

You may even be able to find some good used ones on the AudiogoN website.

Best of luck,
Mark Evans

Do you have or play CD's? Have you considered a CD or SACD player?

If you want good used cables for a reasonable price check the link below.

Hi everyone thanks for your input. I think cables is how I am going to tackle this issue. I have been told by a friend to check out Anti-Cables and they look pretty solid and affordable. I'll probably grab some speaker cables and interconnects for between my power and pre amp.

In regards to CDs I think I am from that generation (I am 26) that grew up on CDs and no one I know really listens to them anymore. It might be romanticism but if I have to own an artifact to listen to music LPs are what I look for. When I listen to digital files it is normally FLAC or another type of lossless file.

Thanks
Kevin

I just want to add to my former not that into CD comment I made a bit ago. I boughtt a Playstation 1 SPCH-1001 for $10 at Salvation Army and it is amazing. I know that's old news to lots of people but just saying.
