How to Upgrade

Hello Guys,

This is my current system configuration:
CD/DVD player: NAD T515
Amlifier: NAD C352 Integrated
Speakers: Monitor Audio RS6 Floorstanders

Could you guys let me know how can I upgrade my system. I am a newbie and totally lost on which would be a sensible upgrade so that I see a good improvement in sound quality.

Thanks in advance.

Brokeback Mountain

Man, Charles Wuorinen has been commissioned to write the opera to Annie Proulx's short story, "Brokeback Mtn.," made famous by Ang Lee's film adaptation, of course. Scheduled to open in 2013 in New York. Hopefully, the score can reflect the emotional reticence of the original short story well; opera doesn't seem like the best medium for this type of story, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong...

Phono Preamp

I was looking to upgrade the NAD PP2 I'm currently using with my Rega P2, that has an Elys 2 cartridge, and is feeding a NAD C352. I wanted to know which preamps to look at in the $200-$400 range. The PP2 sounds pretty good but I'm feeling, sometimes, it is somewhat underpowered.

I was looking and the Bellari VP129 tube that seemed to get a lot of good reviews. I don't know if that would be a deal, or if I could do better. I listen to mostly rock, but some classical as well.

Thanks for any advice.

Anyone attend Digital Downtown

There was a posting on Twice this morning about a panel discussion on the potential and challenges for the audio industry at the Digital Downtown show put on by CEA last weekend in NYC. Did any of you happen to attend? One of the interesting challenges discussed at this panel was how to raise market awareness of audio quality.
