Oh, geez, people will believe anything. CD jewel boxes, for example, are actually *resonators* and not in a good way. Look, the sound will be much improved taking all the things I listed out of the room, no matter what argument you can come up with that it won’t. If you haven’t done the experiment you really don’t know. 😬
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
I really love my stereo currently. I keep thinking I should be looking for the next piece to upgrade - phono stage, stereo subs, etc., but honestly not sure what to change or why I’d potentially spend more money to achieve a result that’s lesser or equal to my current sound quality. I sorta feel clueless as to how to proceed without screwing up what I have. I know it can get better but honestly I’m at a place when I just don’t know how it can. Hmmmmm.... not a bad problem I guess. Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.

jerrybj Geoff Base Camp may be the highest I ever need to get to. >>>>I know you can do it. As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his records, good luck to you! |
I’m in the same place you are. Ttook twenty years, but I can finally sit back and enjoy what I’ve built. Any further improvement would be minor. Which won’t stop me from trying different things, just that the days of heavy investment are over. Tinkering won’t set me back much. Some suggestions about what to try next, in your situation—- 1. A hospital grade wall outlet— furutech or wattgate. Get one before you even think about upgrading your power cords. They aren’t that expensive. If you can’t hear a difference, no point sinkng money money into pc’s. 2. Are your speakers perfectly positioned? Correct distance from back and sidewalls and perfectly angled and tilted? Experiment with that. Even half an inch can make a difference. 3. Vibration control devices, whether it’s platforms or shelves or footers. My system is loaded with them. Dozens of choices out there. Check out a few. |
Kudelka813 - yes! 1: Already done. I had some RF feedback issue and replaced the outlet with a hospital grade unit. All gone! 2: I could benefit from some slightly longer speaker cables. I’d like to play with placement a bit but my current cables are just long enough to accommodate their current position. 3: Vibration / isolation is critical! I could see myself playing around more in this regard to achieve better sound across the board. We are in the same page. I like it! |
