I have found that the FIM Power cords can make a larger difference than changing amps in many cases. I suggest you try a FIM Gold power cord on your amp. I do not hesitate in saying this as my personal experience with these cords made me a believer. I was about to purcahse 4 Power snakes (KC v.2) when I compared them to the FIM. The FIM was so much better, I was actually embarrassed that I had taken the Snakes to audition against the FIMS. They are the REAL DEAL. What ever you decided to do I wish you the best. Regards, Mike
Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$
If I have ONLY $4k to spend on an amp, should I get a less expensive amp and put the rest to Power Cords or should I spend the whole enchilada on an amp. I currently have a BAT VK-500 with BAT PAK and PS Audio Lab Cables but am very curious about the Levinson 333. This isn't necessarily about my specific choices, but rather the wisdom of spending $1k or more on cables prior to upgrading an amp. I sometimes wonder if it isn't a lot like those hopped-up toyotas. Like many of you, I use Audiogon as my listenening room so I'm looking for some feed-back prior to "using my ears" to decide. FYI- Sonic Frontiers T3/P3, BAT Vk5i, Dynaudio Confidence 5, Kimber KCTG ICs and Cardas Golden Cross Speaker Cables.
