Newbie seeking any advice

This is my first post.  I appreciate reading the posts and I hope to learn more in time.  My present equipment is amateurish compared to what I read here but I'm just getting started.  I recently purchased a Yamaha R-N803 receiver and a Yamaha CD-C600 5 disc CD player. I have Vandersteen model 1 speakers.  My system sounds very good to me but I would appreciate any general advice as to how I might improve my sound such as room correction, better quality CDs, which streaming service to use, etc.   Thanks in advance, I really like reading the posts and hope to learn more as I go.  Doug Hess, Newtown Square, Pa.

And...no apologies necessary for your system! Love your speakers, I use Vandy 2Cs. Remember, it's not just the gear, the room and your setup will give you at least half of what you will hear.

If you post your question under Misc Audio, you may get more noticed.
Good luck.

Room tuning first. Look at Michael Green and GIK Acoustics
That will make all your other choices more obvious, and leave you with a room that is far more speaker friendly.

Hey OP:
Room correction (equalization) is always a touchy subject. My advice is treat the room first, add room correction to a sub if used. Leave your main 2 channel alone.

Best,

Than you for that helpful advice...and for not teasing me about a 5 disc player!  Doug Hess
