I'm after some advice on the best route I can take at the moment.
Curently I am using a Cambridge Audio DV86 player, a Rega Brio amp and I've just brought back into service my old Tannoy M1's which are sounding very good.
Now I'm selling my Bose speakers and will have money for an upgrade once I do. I was going to upgrade my speakers but on having a demo in a hi-fi store I was advised to keep my Tannoy's as the guy reckons they are a very good speaker (they do sound good) and what I desperately need to change is my player. He recommended a couple, one I've forgot and the other was the Rega Planet.
Would this seem right? Is my player the weak point or would spending £400 -£500 on new speakers be the better bet at this point?
Now I do have a tight budget and if Rega Planets or more expensive speakers are the answer then I would have to continue saving for a while. Another thing I wondered is, if the player could do with changing, would another option be sticking a DAC converter on the end of my Cambridge be just as good an option? It would be cheaper but I don't want to do that and find that the Planet would have been the better bet in the long run.
Any help is appreciated.
