Every 'link' in the 'chain' affects the outcome. It is a synergistic, holistic system. The whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. No matter how great the amplifier, no matter how great the speakers, everything affects what we hear. The room, our ears, our brain, it's all of a piece.

Down through he years, I've went through (experimented with) several different speakers, until I finally found the speakers that I determined to be my end-game speakers. Then, after some trial and error, I found the perfect integrated amp to dive the speakers. Some of my cabling is newer, and then some of it is over 15 years old, and I have no plans on replacing any of them. I have isolation (which I believe is critical/crucial) on all my components, and also on my speakers. Right now, I feel like I have the perfect marriage between my integrated amp and my speakers, so there will be no changes there for the foreseeable future. But, if I were going to do an upgrade (speakers or amp), it would definitely be my amplification, but only if I went to a larger room. Once I was able to achieve the kind of sound that I was searching for in my system, I felt that there was no longer a need for me to change or to upgrade anything further. I could easily live with the sound quality of the system that I've so diligently put together for a very, very long time, for which my ears and my wallet thanks me.

I have been through tens of thousands of dollars of gear in the past two years... Then I bought a pair of Zu Omen Dirty Weekend speakers... Long story short, I have a 1970 vintage Sansui 4000 receiver at the heart of my system, with a PS Audio Gaincell as a DAC and digital hub. $2300 all in! I did add a Mofi StudioDeck with MasterTracker cartridge, another $1350 or so... They are on sale right now, the StudioDecks, darn near half off... Audio Nirvana! This little ugly duckling of a Sansui integrated stereo receiver is simply kicking ass. The phono stage, or preamp is simply incredible, that 60's 70's vintage analog sound. And this Sansui is a raw powerhouse, while remaining dead silent, measured with a db meter. The Bass is just nuts out of the Sansui, and then the best part, the midrange, very airy, the band is in the room, very tube sounding without the distortion... The top end, tight, detailed, analog detail, not digital, even with the GainCell DAC/Preamp. I do not know what to say at this point, other than I am kicking myself for pissing away so much money over the past few years on this modern gear.

Firstly you should spend as much as you can afford on the Source component. The quality of the musical signal coming out of this first component defines the ultimate ability of any sound system. Every other component in the system merely passes on this signal with greater or lesser accuracy. None can enhance or improve it The next piece of equipment is the pre-amplifier. which is responsible for volume adjustment, input switching and a gain stage. Again spend as much as possible on this particular component. Following behind the pre-amp is the power amplifier. Try to get one that degrades the signal from the pre-amp, as less as possible Lastly are the loudspeakers. Price is no indication of quality with speakers. You have to audition them before you buy.

There's no one correct method when it comes to upgrades. The only rule is to do what makes the most sense given your situation. That said, I really like how he handled his upgrades. There's a lot to learn here. If you go down this route, you find out just how important all the pieces in the system really are. There's also something about his system that you don't often see. This is his 4th pair of Sonus Faber, and he's planning on his 5th. And he's happy with all of it. This type of consistency with both the equipment and his enjoyment of the system, is how you know he's making the right choices. Its not an easy thing to do, and that's why I point it out. Just to be clear, when I mentioned he's going for his 5th pair of SF speakers, I'm not trying to sell you on them. Personally, I don't care for them. It just shows that he's making the right choices.

Hi Paul, did you go to PAF? would have been nice to have run into you there if you were. For me I started with my Integrated then went through many speakers until I found the synergy with my current ones. I’ve recently been focusing on my digital side and bought a new streamer , boy oh boy was that a big upgrade over the oppo 203. I also bought the Synergistic MIG footers and again a very nice and shocking improvement.

I didn't go to PAF because the 3 vendors I was going to meet up with didn't go. Maybe next year we can meet up and go! 😉👍🎼💯✨

If you have the ground wire connected to the back of the MA12000, and it's RCA's are plugged into the right phono input, with ohm load setting proper, it means you have a ground loop in your chain. Try unplugging your other sources 1 at a time to see if it stops. You can also put a 2 prong cheater plug in TT to lift the ground, just to see if it stops. Of course this is all US advice on 120v. For sure it's a ground loop though. My MT5 into my McIntosh is dead quiet. No hum or hiss, even at crazy loud volume. 🤷♂️✨ Also try swapping out the phono cables with another pair to eliminate that as a factor.

Does it really? It has no ground pin, that's odd. Yes you may want to try that as long as it meets your country's requirements. 👊
