Hi, I am just starting to upgrade and would appreciate any feedback. I bought the Conrad-Johnson amp and pre-amp last year and am looking to build on those pieces. Recently, I purchased the Spendor S8e speakers and the Simaudio Moon Nova CD player on Audiogon to try them out.

My old speakers were Vandersteen 1Bs, which actually sound quite nice with the C-J gear. However, the system was too laid back and I wanted a little more detailed, clear sound. I mostly listen to classical and jazz (esp. jazz vocals), with some pop/alternative.

I haven't done much research on interconnects. I think my current weak link is in the CD->pre interconnect. Any suggestions or upgrade possibilities from people who have heard similar systems would be most welcome!
