Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?


System ... Musical Fidelity Nu Vista CD, Bat VK-3i Preamp, Musical Fidelity A300cr power amp, Magnum Dynalab MD-102 Tuner, B&W N804 speakers, Cardas Golden Reference speaker (bi-wire) and ICs. I realize my rig is a bit dated, but it sounds great. If I were to upgrade, how much better could it get? Have I hit the point of diminishing returns where a lot more $$ gets only a small % increase in sound quality? If not, what component would you suggest upgrading and why? Thanks to all.

well sort of .... but not exactly "diminishing returns " but rather a new level of "constant returns".

With a quality kit like you now have, you have reached/ will reach your new upgrade point level. It will now be subservient to that time-honored and inalienable rule that your next "upgraditis" will fall into an inverse trap generally known as the "Rule of fifths"

You have to start shelling out approximately five times the present cost to get the next 20% increase in performance.

That is why this hobby is a journey and not a finite destination.
