Ok so I've got my amp...A400gte.....got some speeks and stands...EPOS ES11....and as predicted by you esteemed gentlemen, my sansui CD player is showing its frailties through this revealing setup. Conclusion I've reached is that I'll need a player to warm things up a little bit whilst still maintaining that detail. I'm looking at doing it for less than £150, so what your thoughts? HM
