My Current Setup-
Reciever: Denon AVR-1803 (purchased back in 2002 when I wanted surr. sound)
Disc Player: Panasonic Blu-ray DMP-BD80
Turntable: Technics SL-1900 w/ Sumiko Pearl Cartridge
Speakers: Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 and Audioquest Type 4 cables (No Frills)
Listen to: Rock, Pop, Indie, and pretty much anything that's good. Mostly on CD but starting to get into vinyl.
Just bought the Wharfedale's about a month ago and upgraded the cartridge on my TT. Would changing out my old AVR with an integrated amp (somewhere in the $500ish pricerange) result in cleaner, more natural sound? My feeling is that the Denon seems bright and fatuiging for extended listening but I don't have alot of knowledge on this topic. Anyone have experience with entry level integrated amps (or recievers) that allow the Wharfedale's to shine?
Thanks!
