What would you change?
I need some advice! I have 500 pounds to spend on e-bay, my syestem is a musical fidelity xa1 amp, x-ray cd player and a pair of b&w cm2's. where should the money be spent? source, amp or speakers? im looking to give my system a new lease of life so any prouduct suggestions would be great..
I had the x10-d but sold it, i regret that but hey ho. Does the power supply you mentioned make much of a difference? is it used on the x-ray? or the amp? maybe we could agree a sell..
Sadly not, the x-psu v3 i have is used for the x-dac, x-10 (and could also be used for the x-can & phono). The xpsu makes a significant improvement to each of these
you do not mention the cables?
what you got for inter connects and speaker cables?
You'd probably be able to get a pair of new monitor audio GS10's for a monkey on ebay.
I got my GR20's for 700 beans..... dambit!

Mind you, that is in the states, but thats 100 quid less than what I paid and I bet the come without a whacking great dent in the corner!
If you want floorstanders of course...
Upgrade the speakers. The XA-1 is about 40W, isn't it? So you'll want a fairly sensitive pair of speakers, at least 89db. And you could also get the X10-D and X-PSU (which reminds me, i must put mine on ebay as i can't use them anymore).
