Best Stereo Upgrade Value

Interconnects, speakers, amp, DAC, source, power.

Speakers will always make the biggest change in sound.  Things like cables, very minuscule with some exceptions. 

To be sarcastic, it all depends on how much you spend.  We all know the Price is always Indicative of Quality and Performance.

Just kidding.  Happy listening folks.

Adding an active crossover and by-passing the passive crossover in my Magnepan 1.6's. Did have to buy another two channel amp though.

Thank you all.  Added information…I’ve got a pair of Martin Logan Renaissance’s, Mac C-53, pair of Mac MC-611’s, and 2 JL Audio F113 v2.  My audio guy talked me out of getting a Mac room correction unit, but told me to play around with speaker angles.

I like the “weakest link” and I “think” I agree with speakers first, but believe my system is pretty equal all the way around.  Rather than spending big bucks on what I think the weakest link is (and buying again and again), it’s probably best if I just play with the “environment” (angles, walls, etc.) for a while and maybe I’ll find out that unless I want to spend some really big bucks and upgrade everything, then possibly I’m near the best I’ll get…for my ears (at least). 

Thank you for ALL your comments...I'll keep them in mind as I continue the journey.
