System Upgrades

Its hard to recommend something without knowing what type of speakers you have. That said, I would probably go with a new preamp first and then the amp.

Do you wonder why you are not getting any responses? This is a loaded question. Look what Zd man said, and he still recommened something. It's crazy out there... :)

Replace all your stock cables, buy a new rack and treat your room. Spend $100 on new music and have a nice dinner at home with someone special.

Yes I know it's a loaded question but not totally off the mark.
I deign and build loudspeakers. I currently use a hybrid open baffle and since it is not a commercially available speaker I know you won't be able to comment on the speaker. Now I DO know that my pre and Amp are late 1980's and 1990's vintage and I was looking for a "whoa they've come a long way since then" or "It's still great equipment don't bother" I hope this gives some insight as to why i asked the way I did.

Great response Tom! I'd have to second that.
