You've got some really nice gear by most people's standards. Depending on what specific characteristics you want to change, I'd be looking into speakers and cartridge change. Nothing wrong with either of those in your system, but that's likely where the biggest sonic changes are going to come from. If you find speakers you love, consider an amp change that's a great match for them (if your Mac is not).
Advice for upgrading my system
I have been on Audiogon for about 6 months and I enjoy the expertise and reading the conversations. I am hoping to receive guidance to upgrade my 2 channel stereo.
I am now ready to upgrade and I have budgeted $30k to do so.
My current system is the following:
McIntosh MA 6600
McIntosh MP 100 Phono Preamp
Marantz super audio CD Player SA-11S2
Micro SeikiDD-40 Turntable
Denon DL 103D Cartridge
2-Monitor Audio PL - 100 speakers
1-Velodyne HGS12BGII Subwoofer
Sonos for DAC
My room has been acoustically treated in the
walls and ceiling by a company that specializes in this.
I primarily listen to jazz, classical, and 70’s music.
Room dimensions are:
⁃ 30’ 6” long
⁃ 14’ 6” Wide for the first 12’ 4“ of the length and then
⁃ 10’ 4” Wide for the last 18’ 2” of the length
I consider the main listening area to be the 14’6” x 12’4” section.
I am looking forward to hearing your feedback. Btw, I live in Denver Colorado.
