System upgrade suggestions


Hello,

Looking to upgrade my modest system that is in a small room(10x12).

I have the following:

Tecnodec w/ RB300
Clearaudio Arum beta S
Levinson ML 1
Michell Dino Phono stage
Quad 405 amp-on long term loan from friend
Linn Tukans
Synergistic Alpha Speaker/ICs
Wadia 23 as transport
Wadia 64.4 DAC
Wadia Glass cable
Raw AC

Suggestions on upgrading my system? The turntable/arm/cart is new, just breaking them in. I like the wadia going straight into the amp and using the digital volume control. Havent tried it into the ML 1.

There aren't many shops that I can demo gear here.

Thanks for your help.

It's hard to know where to start. What do have/not have that you are looking for? Have you given enough attention to tuning the room, including spkr. positioning?

You mention raw AC. What exactly do you mean by that? Why haven't you tried the Wadia hooked to the ML1?
Boy howdy, you have made smart choices. Love the Beta S, likewise Wadia and Linn and Levinson. Whats yo beef? Or are you just looking for next steps. You are going to spend a pant load of money if you want to upgrade a component and feel good about the sonic improvement. So I agree that you might think about your moderate room. Regular shapes set up standing waves that steal souns. Hard surfaces slap and offend and fatigue. Polish your points of contact from sockets (you might do better here, to the plugs, and then the interconnects and their jacks over to the speaker cable posts and connections. If your power is dirty,you can add components to clean it up as well as separate digital source from the rest.
Driver,

By raw AC, I mean straight in from the wall. Still playing with the speaker positions. I have to compromise with the postitions vs using the room.

Thanks all.
hello
i would suggest to think about other power amp..since you have a small room, quality but low power solid state or tube amp will be considered,,certainly ML series of levinson will be very logical

I'm no expert, but your system sounds pretty good as it is... I think one of the most valuable add-ons, especially in a small room, is some room treatments. I'm looking into some myself and I think that'll be the next best step.

Good luck,
