I have a PS Audio Premiere Power Plant and replaced all the power cords with their cords. That made a wonderful improvement, not too subtile and very satisfying. I have vibration dampers under every component, and I could hear the improvement with each one! I also use a Qol, and I really love it. So, here are some more ways to play with sound...enjoy!
How big a change would this upgrade make?
I'm considering some upgrades to my system, and I wanted to ask if it will make a really transformational difference, or if it will be only a marginal step up. Not that I am unhappy with the sound of my setup, but like so many of us, I'm always looking for more if I can get it.
Right now, I have Joseph Audio Pulsar speakers, with computer audio as my source.
Suppose I made these upgrades (my current components on the left, new ones on the right):
Preamp: Arc LS26 --> ARC Ref 5SE
Amp: Pass XA30.5 --> ARC Ref 75
DAC: PS Audio MKii --> PS Audio DirectStream
At the not-small cost of ~$11k, would this upgrade chain be like night-and-day relative to my current stuff, or something much smaller?
Maybe one more question: if you could only make one of these upgrades, which would it be?
