I agree with Jtwrace... sound treatments are a must. You won't know what your system is capable of until you effectively treat your listening room. I used GIK Acoustics and got a lot for my $700.
The Next Upgrade is What?
Like many I am thinking of the next improvement to my system and want to do so without spending much money. The room has been tuned and tweaked pretty well.
The basic gear is as follows: Snell CV speakers, 2 NAD 2700 amps, Linn Kolektor pre. Rotel RCC 1055 cd, APC H10 conditioner, Straightwire Virtuoso speaker cables and Naim speaker cable. Monster interconnects pre to cd and Straightwire pre to amps.
The wall receptacle is one of Mr Porter's little projects but the power cable to the conditioner is original APC. The power cables on both amps a hard wired in. ouch. So I was thinking what would give me the greatest level of improvement short of replacing components? I have those giant Soundlabs on my wish list with Santa but he just filed bankruptcy I am told. Would the power cord to the APC conditioner be best. Can I rewire the amp pwer cord myself? Hey how about those naim cables on the top half of my speakers? Thanks in advance.
