Can You Go From Good To Dazzling


After years of not touching my system, I ended up rebuilding it. Two amps, a passive device, 2 CD players and 5 pairs of speakers later, I feel I am almost there. I have been playing with wires and the current batch are all very close. My perception is that I should be able to go from liquid, clean, neutral and musical to dazzling where the hairs on my neck stand up all the time. Is this a realistic goal or am I there with a very musical and liquid system that fills my room... and the speakers disappear? And can I do it without spending 1K per piece of wire?

CJ MF2250A alternating with CJ MV 60 (soon to be upgraded)
CJ PV 14L series 2
Audio Note CD player
Penaudio Charisma speakers
Alpha Core Micro Purl silver ICs
Supra Ply 3/4s speaker wires

I have gone through Goertz MI2 and AG1. Very accurate and clean, but no body. Maple Shade Double Helix. More body than the Goertz and possibly more quiet, but no better than the Supra. Acoustic Zen was open and airy but did not dazzle me. Am I going tone deaf?

I look forward to your comments.
