My weakest link??


I'm getting the upgrade bug and would like your comments on my system's "weakest link." Small carpeted listening room - 11x12x8 with a padded wall behind the speakers and bookcase on the opposite wall. Linn Ikemi CD on vibrapods, Onkyo T9090II tuner, Plinius 8150 integrated, Tyler Reference Monitors on sand-filled Soliloquy stands, Quadraspire rack, HT Truthlink ICs, HT Pro-9 speaker cables, Shunyata Black Mamba PC on amp and JPS Labs digital cable on CD. Two dedicated circuits with Albert Porter Hubbell cryoed outlets and 10 gauge THHN wire.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

*You have some fairly good stuff now.*

Gees, Newbee, 'fairly' good stuff?
I think he's got the nicely assembled system.

I agree small room like his is hard to work with.
My room is similar to his at 10 X 12. Diagonal speaker set up
works well in awkward shaped room.

Joeldoss, unless you are really unhappy from what you've got and
knowing what you want to get out of your system, random upgrade is
a waste of money and can lead to you a great frustration.
There are various tweaks you can fine tune your system.
Ikemi benefits from putting some weight on top to minimise
vibrations. Perhaps different footers and aftermarket shelves.

Are you using Ikemi as a transport?
