Ok, so i have been slowly putting together a system on a serious budget, pretty much i have been buying gear for bargain prices in a quest to get some decent musical sound for 2 channel redbook playback.

I do not have any sentimental attachment to any of this equipment and would sell or trade any of it in a heartbeat for an upgrade of any sort.

That being said, i am really on a quest for the next improvement in sound, problem is i have no idea what that next step is, a better DAC, like a PS Audio or Bel Canto, better speakers, a more powerful 2 channel amp, maybe scratch the B&K and start with a 2 channel preamp, i really dont know! Please any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
