The disapointing part of my system is the music playback from my DVD player. My 2 ch. main amp (Plinius) is connected to the processor w/Transparent Ultra XL Balanced IC. My L&R front spkrs are connected by Transparent Super XL spkr cables terminated w/spades on both sides. I have my TV, Mitsu WT-46809, DVD player, cable box, processor, VCR and sub, Velodyne FSX-12, all connected to 2 Richard Gray Power Co. 400s. Digital components and 2nd RGPC into the first RGPC and analog components into the 2nd RGPC. I have the first RGPC connected to the wall outlet by a Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler. My 2 amps are connected to a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet, high current version. All of the replaceable power cords have been changed to PS Audio Mini Lab cables. And yes, my system does sound better at 2am then at 7pm. Hope this helps clear things up and makes it easier get some more feedback on my dilemma. Thanks for your post.....John
want to upgrade music performance in HT syst.
First the system:
Pioneer Elite DVC-36(odvious weak link for music but love video performance and conveniance of 5 discs.)
Krell HTS1
Plinius SA-250mkIV
Aragon 8008x3b
Dynaudio Contour 3.0
Dyn Contour cntr ch
Dyn 1.3mkII
Rel Storm III sub
I'm not getting the performance that I feel I should be getting, for music, from this system. I cannot afford a separate music only system and I know someone will mention getting rid of the HTS. Sorry, but I love the performance I get from this piece overall and I will not let it go. I've looked into getting a dedicated cdp and have rounded up the usual suspects. Budget; Music Hall MMF cd-25, Rega Planet 2000, top of the line Rotel, various Sony sacd players but I'm not interested in multi-ch music formats at all. The more pricier suspects; Rega Jupiter, Accuphase, Electrocompaniet, Wadia, Levinson, ext. The dealer I purchased my Krell HTS from mentioned that the dacs in the HTS are state of the art, so I could run a good transport and have the processor do the upsampling. I'm so confused. I just want to enjoy my music and I know I'm not getting everything I can from my dvd player. I would like to keep the cost down, $750-$1500. I would greatly appreciate any help you guys & gals could give me. I'm running a Goldmond digital cable (RCA to RCA terminated) and I've had my doubts about that purchase. If you have any thoughts on this cable or any ideas for an upgrade I would love to hear from you as well. Thanks in advance for your help.....John
