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.

Rlb61,
You've gotten two very different perspectives from Jmcgrogan2 and Doug Schroder. You specifically state that your system sounds "great". If it does truly sound that satisfying for you then John's comments are more applicable in your situation. It would make sense to avoid the High End merry go round and upgrade mentality. Expand your music library and continue to enjoy the great sound you've achieved. What is the goal or target if you do decide to upgrade from what's already great sound?
Charles,
Rlb61,
You're happy with your sound. If you read many posts on this site you'll realize some folks never seem to reach that point. Thus the constant and frustrating "upgrade" pathway.I'm not suggesting nothing can be improved upon, but what's being improved? Clear objectives would need to be solidly determined/defined.
