Thanks for all the responses. It was a poorly worded question. I was trying to decide on keeping my NAD 326 Bee integrated amp and Phonomena phono stage, or "upgarde" to a musical Fidelity integrated A3.2 with built in phono. The speakers are Usher X718. Source is Sota Comet.
I agree that the amp needs to match the speakers. I also agree that the source is the most important component in the system.
The Musical Fidleity A3.2 integrated with 110 watts per channel drives the Ushers to more satisfying levels than the 50 watt NAD. The MF phono stage is very good and suits my tastes for now.
The NAD is already sold, but the Phonomena is available for 300 OBO. Thanks again.
