I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?


I currently have Technics 1200G turntable with Dynavector 17XD cartridge playing through Kitsune LCR 1 MK5 phono pre and Allnic L7000 preamp. My amps are Pass X350.5 and Benchmark AHB2 driving Sound Lab ESL speakers. My system sounds great, but I am wondering how I can take my system to another level. What do you think?

refresh my memory, you had a Brinkman, Sota, etc thread going awhile back ?

a dipole in a ten by ten box, surely…not…

Is there dishonour in considering headphones @tomic601 ?

In a room that size, have you considered selling the massive amp and going SET with high sensitive speakers? Decware for example but there are many of course.

Yikes! Here’s one where that has me scratching my head—you have a very obvious and significant limitation that folks are suggesting you address with tweaks and lateral component swaps. Your room is very small and square and you have chosen large panel speakers—not gonna get where you want to go!

Exactly what I pointed out above.....
