wow, as always, the more i learn the less i know.
thanks gents for giving me some valuable insight. guess i need to sit down and consider just how far down this here rabbit hole me wants to go. this stuff has had a strange hold of me since i was a kid and i am just now getting to the point where i can start modestly rewarding myself.
hands down - i believe that any of the above mentioned amps would greatly improve my current setup. the pressing question is which one will i likely have my most m~ u ~ s ~ i ~ c ~ a ~ l experience with? having not logged any time in front of these killer {i'm assuming} pieces above really does entice me - but due to inexperience - it might cloud the water a bit.
i did hear an early rickie lee jones on a $40,000 2-channel krell system about five years ago and almost lost my lid. it was the best thing i ever heard. then again, there was a time when i thought the best tangerines in the world were right off of my grandpa's tree. might have even taken a swing atcha if ya said otherwise. my tune humbly changed when i traveled a bit and tasted what raw/organic farming principals could do to the flavor off such a wonderful fruit... different world indeed.
far as i was concerned i was tasting tangerines for the first time. this the kind of magic i want my system to reveal.
i'm relatively fresh off this hi-end boat and anxious to learn. what sorts of things do you need to know about me and my listening environment/tastes that may lend itself to more specific upgrade recommendations? something i might consider growing into?
do i even have a strong enough sonic - foundation to begin asking such questions?
where do i go from here?
who's on first?
p.s. upgrading the cables makes a lot of sense and should be a great start to my journey... will look into that asap.
thanks again
