Currently my system consists of .......
Rega RP2 TT
Dennon DRA-325 Amp/receiver, I think the amp is 45W/channel TNT’s 8 ohm.
Dennon DCD-660 CD player
Mourdent Short Aviano 6 floor standing speakers.
I also have a Nad 3130 amp unused at the moment.
As most of us on here I’m sure, I’m constantly thinking of upgrading. I’m quite new to owning a hi fi & most of this equipment came to me by way of my late father so not sure what’s out there apart from the TT which is a recent purchase so probably a bit of a mismatch. Though it works. & cost me nothing except for the TT obviously.
In hinsight possibly I should have gone for a better Rega TT as the power adaptor looks cheap & buzzes not through the speakers just the plug, & the phono leads look a little cheap aswell, all I could afford at the time.
I want to upgrade the cartridge & was thinking of a Rega Elys2, would this be a markedly improved upgrade or could I do better?
Also in time I would like to upgrade the amp, as allways improved sound quality is the goal rather than pure power possibly a pre/power amp combo. Can anybody recommend a decent amp to go with what I have. probably looking at 2nd hand as I don’t have an endless budget looking to spend up to about £500 for the right gear.
Any other upgrades/ improvements worth considering?
Many thanks for your input
Marc.
