Well first off don't do anything until you get some decent speaker wire. And please don't tell me you're using the black plastic freebie power cord junk they threw in the shipping box? Patch cords, I shudder even to think...
Please help me decide...
Hello to all...
Money is always tight so I'm a real budget audiophile (unless I believe the piece is SO incredible for what I'm getting: example JOB INT integrated amp) so since I can spend up to $445 for My Christmas present, I'd like to improve the sound of my game room/ kitchen-dining space system.
I presently have a 2002 Pioneer DV-37 CD/DVD player with Silnote Audio Morpheus interconnects, playing into a Monoprice Hybrid Stereo tube amp (50w with 2- 6N2 (=12AX7) and 2- 6P1 (=6AQ5); speaker cables are twisted 14g solid-core copper wire, biwired with bare wire ends. Speakers until recently were a pair of JBL L25 PRIMAs but are being swapped-out for KEF Q1s, presently w/o sub.
OPTIONS: Should I:
Buy a new SS Yamaha, Denon or NAD Integrated, or some other vintage SS integrated?
Or should I buy new tubes for the Monoprice ? And add a BIC Subwoofer?
Or should I buy a Vintage Marantz SA-8001 SACD Player (which is what I have in my main system, with the JOB INT).
Or what? Your thoughts please...
