That's good advice, thanks. I have an audiophile friend who told me that over the years he probably spent $50k on stereo equipment by buying, selling, trading, upgrading, etc. He said if he could start all over today, he could put together an equal system for about $10K. He had fun and has no real regrets but the advice he passed on to me was.... take your time, learn first, then choose wisely. I have a nice system now (Yamaha & Vandersteens) but have felt tempted to upgrade when I see better equipment but so far managed to hold off and keep learning. Usually the next day I'm a bit relieved. I'm sure I'll upgrade at some point but hopefully I'll do it smart. Although that little MAC MA252 has been calling my name!
Like to tweak my system
I'm fairly new here and just learning. I have a Yamaha R803 and Vandersteen model 1s. I stream Spotify. I'm happy with that for now but I'd like to improve the sound in other ways if possible. I previously asked about better speaker wire. Perhaps a power conditioner, DAC, amarra software, a better power strip? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. BTW, as recommended here I purchased Jim Smith's book, great advice, thanks. Doug
