Next upgrade?


Dear all,

In the pursue of the best possible sound - given a limited budget! - I am constantly thinking about the next upgrade (or mod) to my system. I’m sure I am not alone...

Right now I have the following :

- Monitor Audio Golden Reference 60 Speakers

- Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated Amp

- Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport

- Border Patrol SE-i DAC

I like the system a lot, but I wonder what can I do next (excluding cables or power supply). What would be the place where I can get the most improvement from an (second hand) upgrade?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

my two cents:

set up the REW and find out your room characteristics, you will see where to place your budget and time.

if the spectrum looks perfect, congrats. but still you can work on subsonic bandwidth which would make the sound change you may feel.

"I like the system a lot..."

How long have you had it in it's current form?  Have you done anything to the space it's in?  What do you play on it that makes you want to fuss about with it?

Seems, as reubent comments, a 'solid system' as it stands...

What shortcomings seem to irk you?

(...just being the 'devils' advocate' tonight/this morning....because I can....;)....)

for other thoughts on how best to further upgrade i would encourage you to speak more about what you hear in the system today as it stands, what are its strengths and weaknesses as you hear the music, and what you would like to have improved via further attempts to upgrade the system
