Most eye-opening upgrade and what you learned


Would love to know about moments of light on the high-end audio learning curve.

My husband and I number among the academic poor ...
with preferences which substantially exceed our budget.
Nonetheless, we have managed an aha!! experience or
two of our own.

The mating of conrad johnson tube preamp with krell solid
state amp opened our eyes about the role of electronics
in creating presentation.

Listening to the revel salons set our standards for hearing music rather than sound from an audio playback system.

Know that many of you have deeper insight, am hoping you
will share.

The greatest audio revelation I have experienced was the moment I replaced my generic speaker cables a few years ago with a fine pair of (used) Tara Labs. I was, simply stated, stunned by the sonic difference. I heard highs and lows in my B&W CDM7s that I'd never thought them capable of. Before this, I had always thought speaker cable was, well... just a piece of copper. That first moment totally converted me to a believer.
