Best Upgrade you had?


What single upgrade did you have that gave you the most impact in sound improvement? Mine would be the EMM LABS DCC2 dac and CDSD transport followed perhaps by my AUDIOMAGIC line conditioner.

Upgrades that froze me in place upon 1st listen ...
1. Lyra Clavis Evolve 99 cartridge
2. Dedicated Music room
3. 47 Labs Phonocube
All these new wives and girlfriends. We must live in a mobile society. My best upgrade was an all Audio Note system correctly set up with speakers in the corners. Simply terrific!!! The best reproduction I'v ever heard. Alas, it was not to be forever. My wife still wanted a TV in the room and the only place for it was the corner. What I get now is 95% of that but as we all know the higher up you go each percentage point is worth more and more. Someday!
I'll follow Slappy's template.

CAR
Bilstein shocks & struts with Eibach Pro Kit springs dropped the car and tightened it up the way I had hoped without creating a harsh ride. Replacing my factory airbag steering wheel with the Momo Competition may have reduced my overall safety, but now I feel like I'm grabbing something substantial unlike the factory pipecleaner. Rogue Engineering short shifter has made my car so much fun to drive. And the factory BMW X-Brace made a huge improvement in initial turn-in. Not bad for a $150 part.

AUDIO
Introducing tubes into my hifi is one of the most positive shifts I've made in audio. I have a tube DAC and have owned different tube preamps, but never a tube amp. I'll soon be getting an Exemplar Exception II which I'm hoping will be a big step up. And I'm also considering a high powered SET like the Bel Canto SET40, which would complete my transformation into Anakin Tubewalker.

WOMEN
No matter how many hotties I meet around here, I just can't seem to find anyone better than the ex. Maybe I should move to the Mediterranean.
