Well, we disagree on this. But evidently every link has an effect on the final result.

Well, you must take into account my limited budget. All these used components were bought (and often sold later) for less than $600.

What do you think about the Arcam Alpha 9, the NAD S-500, and the Rotel RCD-991 ? Your advice would help me a lot.
