What was the most impactful addition to your system?


Even in a setting absent resource constraints, the bug to “upgrade” is limited by space, power plugs, connectors, WAF, etc. Therefore, most of us must prioritize our additions or upgrades in our systems. I’m frequently seeking opinions on what chnage had the greatest impact to your system. For me as a gray-haired audiophile, it was the addition of a pair of subwoofers - even with a high end system. I am not dismissing the audible improvements from high end cables, pc’s, cartridges, sound treatments, speakers, TT, room placements, etc. But my auditory peyote moment came with the subs. Wish I’d known decades ago 😊

Altec A7 speaker that I got last September at 750$.

 

It made most of effect at bargain.

 

The irony is that I had spent more than 10k $ for bi amping since I got the speaker.

Denafrips Pontus II DAC purchased last year as I primarily listen to CDs and occasionally stream.

Thought of another one.

Graduate school, without which, I would never have attained the income with which to purchase my last couple systems… and the fantastic acoustic space in which it performs.
