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.

First buy Jim Smiths excellent book Get Better Sound

hundred plus tips that cost zero or low $

attend some live unamplified events, buy more music, run Mohawk tires on the Ferrari, have fun :-)

One problem with subs is - there ain’t much music down there... listen to just them.....

But.... I use Ray Browns excellent CD of Soular Energy to set sub to main interface levels- lots of tasty scale runs that should be relatively even in SPL level.... not ruler flat

Who is the hack? Did clearthink take his toys and go home?

Stereo subs have always sounded superior to me.
