Where’s My Weakest Link?


Hi All,

I often find myself wondering where to put resources (money) to take my system to the next level. Over the years I have slowly acquired equipment and sometimes I am impressed with the “upgrade”, others I am disappointed with the change/cost ratio. I recently purchased Jim Smiths book, Get Better Sound and was blown away with the changes I was able to make with what I have but I am now back at crossroads of , whats next?

I am running a Bluesound Node 2i> Carver C-16 pre> Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA250> Thiel 1.2.

So what do you think the weakest link is / whats the smartest upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

That’s it? That’s your "system"? 

What speaker cable, interconnects, power cords are you using?
What fuses, outlets, power conditioner?
What acoustics? Do you have any HFT? ECT? TC? Cones? Rack? Shelf???
Mine was my room. After adding 12 Large bass traps, a few home made absorption panels and tweaking the subs the room is now much better. The end result is a completely different sound. Have to admit I was skeptical at first but I was stunned by the change.
