I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!

maghister nailed it

another area is your cd transport. Get Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter to absorb laser scatter inside your transport. It’s a BIG deal, as is his isolation springs

Also, I have a 105; go to ebay and get replacement incoming wire loom with Furutech rhodium IEC AND upgrade your power supply. I got the < $120 version. This combo put a lot more meat on the bone, fuzz on the peach...

and yes, room correction as well as subwoofer placement . See YTVs with’ Acoustic Fields’. His subwoofer placement ideas are radical, but they work!

WireWorld Cables new 8 series are huge. and offer in home trial

If you haven't time to go all XLR; good place to start is 105 to amp

After doing some of these things dust off some of those audiophile discs. you may like them now

tweak1, 
I have been waiting for the Machina Dynamica buy one get one (BOGO) free sale, when I intend to purchase "The Mind Lamp from Psyleron" and "The Ultra Signature Version of the Clever Little Clock".  I have been told by a golden eared audiophile whose ears I trust that their impact when used together is cumulative. Of course that audiophiles initials are GK. 

Is this stuff for real? I'm tired of audiophile voodoo.

Is this stuff for real? It’s as real as a colonoscopy without benefit of anesthesia.

I wonder why I now have to log in to respond?  Never had to do this before.

Based on the discussion, I think you might want to wait and save up for some high quality audiophile speakers.  I would definitely look at the SALK line.  The Song3 Encore's are incredible.  You won't find better for $6,000.  If you have to save up for 2 years, it will be worth the wait and if you plan to move wait to then anyway.
