Biggest Sonic Improvement


What is the biggest sonic improvement you have ever made to your audio system. Mine was a surprise to me. I replaced my Audioquest PT6 tonearm on my VPI turntable with a VPI JMW Memorial tonearm. The improvement in the sound nearly knocked me off my feet. I never realized a tonearm coud make that much difference in sound. How about some of you guys, what has your most exciting improvement been.

When I hooked up a 2 dollar yard sale B.S.R.turntable that had a dirty old Shure cartridge on it.I had to super glue the cantilever on it as it was flopping around.The first second I knew my Digital days were over.Beat the HELL out of my old Denon DCM 440 0r 460 (forgot model #) I havent looked back since and now have a Rega-25 and Grado woody.ANALOG!!!!!!!

When I finally spent the money to buy some actual high end interconnects instead of some generic OFC cable. I hated myself for not doing it earlier.
My Biggest Sonic Improvement was when I moved up my speakers from Energy to Martin Logan. Even though there were a lot of other things that help me improve my sound but nothing compare to a brand new pair of speaker. The Bass was more on the Energy but now with Martin Logan the bass is actually more cleaner and tigher. So for me was a new paif of speaker.
