I absolutely agree with power conditioning. If dedicated lines can be done as well then include them, but not to the exclusion of a good power conditioner. The other changes will add incremental improvements, but if you don't take care of all the major links in the chain first then those mods won't be as effective. Also be sure to include cables, if you haven't already done so. :o)
Most bang for the buck?
I wasn't sure which category to post this under....but here goes:
I will be doing one of the 4 upgrades listed below in my life (5yr plan). I will possibly do all 4 eventually. I invite input from the knowledgeable group as to which would provide the biggest improvement overall.
My electronics are: HCA-2, Carver Sunfire preamp, Music Hall 25 Mod +, Epicure 3.0 way cabinets that have completely redsigned drivers and crossover from Meniscus boys with a pair of Vandersteen 2wq's.
1. Biamping the mids and highs, or left right? with another HCA-2
2. Getting a power conditioner
3. Upgrading to a PCA-2
4. Modding the HCA.
