I've been thinking and as we all know upgraditis is terminal or at least in my case tinkering is. I wouldn't mind adding a little more sophistication to my system which is currently basically a P3 with an Ort. MC3 on it, a Rotel RCD 991, Kef Q35.2 speakers and a Linn Intek. Personally I'm least happy with the Linn. With the right stuff it sounds fab, with the wrong it can be very harsh, and it can be hard when it is cranked up. I want to retain a built in phono stage, and will get about £200 for the Linn. I might put in another 1 to 2 hundred, so what should I look for? I was wondering about Audiolab. Any other ideas. I might consider bottles if they would work with everything else. Thanks in advance for your infinite wisdom and patience.
