Edited to remove email to avoid you getting spammed.

I think the main problem is a lack of amp power, but you could do with a better CD player, too. I'd suggest you listen to some of the more recent Cambridge Audio ranges, such as the 640 series, or the likes of the Roksan Kandy combination. For a more affordable duo you could try the new Marantz CD6002, partnered with the PM7001 or PM70001KI amplifiers.
