How about a good record player? That will give you something to occupy your spare time. I have no problem with CDs, but I think anyone looking for audio satisfaction should also consider vinyl to compliment their CD collection. You may realize that that "extra" thing you were looking for was not a different transport, etc.
After some upgrades, where is the weak link
Have just finished a couple upgrades, and would like your opinions on where the weak link in the system is now...details:
Levinson 390s player (digital out to processor)
Levinson 380s preamp
Levinson 360s processor
Levinson 436 monoblocks (balanced connection from the preamp, and they rest on Core Designs amp stands)
Revel Salons
Martin Logan Depth (single ended connection from preamp)
RPG 600 power conditioner--amps plugged directly in the wall (with Porter Pots cryo's outlets) and preamp, cd player, processor and sub plugged into the power conditioner
MIT AC1 power cord for the cd player
Kimber cable XLR from processor to preamp
Kimber cable PK-10 gold power cords for the amps
Staightwire (not sure of model, but their top of the line) biwire to the speakers (around 3 foot runs)
System geometry can be seen on my system description page.
It sounds pretty good to my ears--but interested in your opinions on the weakest link...
Cheers,
Mitch
