Best bang for the buck

For me it’s absolutely room treatment. It’s about 7% of my system’s value, but made a 50% improvement in my sound quality🎵

Tekton speakers,great value and sound as well.just got the new bonnevilles and yes 4 feet wide 4 big woofers 7 horns. If you have the room it's a bargain. Few speakers have 11 drivers each under 20 k a pair.focal utopia ,magico,borresen,kef ect worth a listen and high spl . I'll take a little less wood furniture for near same sound quality.enjoy the yard sales.

Having my room, lectrical panel, and grounding rewired and upgraded with dedicated lines to my room. It was cheaper than the power cords I bought,. It made everything in the room sound better instantly.

Just in case anyone thought I was being serious...

Today, with the help of my neighbor, we made 6 cable lifters out of hardwood blocks for $6 plus 1 hour to cut and  stain them.

They look cool and the sound stage is wider, blacker background, and the bass is tighter .

...and the Softone Model 4 tube phono stage. Not pretty, but it is really good. A ridiculous bargain at $650 ($800 including shipping to the USA from Japan). The pair of NOS Mullard's added $450. Still a bargain.
