Where is the weak chain in my system?

Update on what I did so far:

I talked to my main dealer and got a bunch of accessories and cables to try based on all your suggestions:

1. Symposium Svelt Plate for Speaker: This made the most difference! for me. It was immediately noticeable with more air and better bass, almost like upgrading a new amp or speaker...

2. Harmonic Tech Pro 9 Speaker cables: Maybe a little better but did not notice much difference from Cardas Crosslink I have. I will try Magic and Higher end cables.

3. Perpetual P1A upsampler: Again maybe a little difference, but not much. My friends seemed to prefer the upsampled signal though. I will try Purcell from my dealer.

4. Symposium Rollerblocks/Coupler: Not yet tried.

So, I will keep the Svelt speaker plate and the cables and perpetual goes. I will actually try using the Svelt plate and roller blocks for all my gears and see if they have the same large effect.

Also, will try with power conditioners.

Please keep the ideas and suggestions coming. Thanks

Walker links! I had just about given up on my Pro Ac Response 3.5's and decided to give the links a try. The problem I was having was that the treble was too aggressive - violins too steely, sibilants to sharp, brass too harsh. The links made the problem vanish, leaving sweet, smooth, and even more detailed treble. They even have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Can't live without 'em! Check 'em out at walkeraudio.com Steve

It's in your head...this ultimate pursuit for audio nirvana is never going to end...never never never...

as long as there is desire...there's going to a manifestation of it....you will buy something...but if you put so much hype or desire into something...chances are you are going to be left with that "still longing for more" and "I can outdo you" feeling
...true happiness comes from knowing the fact that you can never "search" for happiness..you can only "obtain" things that trigger off some kinds of receptors in your head associated with happines...be happy...you'll land up being more happy
and you will spoil forums with inconsequential philosophy people dont need...

suburuguru nailed it. suggest you sit aside the equipment
frenzy for time, and start exploring room issues. (starting with AC delivery!). Best wishes on your endeavor.
