Do you have everything setup properly? You know powercords away from signal carrying wire? Are your speakers level and even? Have you played around with positioning width and toe-in? What do you have the equipment on? Try the amp and pre and the bottom of the rack. I'd play around with that until you think it sounds as good as it is going to. I think with your system it will sound pretty good. If you do decide to change something change your wires. Shielded stuff. I have a feeling that something like the top-o-the-line Audioquest stuff would bring some boldness to your system which is what your probably missing no? Anaconda, python, ics' Gibraltar speaker cable. Man that stuff floats my boat big-time. The Synergistic might work well too.
weak link/improvement to my system: advice
Hi,
I love Audiogon forums where I have received a lot of great advice so thanks in advance.
My hope was to get insight as to what you might think would be weak links or improvements to my system. (If someone dislikes a particular brand I don't think it is helpful however to say yuck krell sucks or wilson is overpriced). I thought perhaps the speaker cable but then read an article by the founder of McIntosh who lambasted the need to get a reall expensive speaker cable like Vahalla. Ok enough with the caveats.
I have the following:
1. WILSON WATT PUPPY 7 SPEAKERS
2. KRELL 400CX
3. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) 51SE Tube Preamp
4. Cary 306-200 cd player
5. Cardas Golden Reference cable XLR between Preamp/Amp
6. Nordost Quattro Fil cable XLR between Preamp/CD
7. Nordost Red Dawn Speaker Cable
