changing overall tone


have a mid-fi system and would like to know what to do next to make sound more alive and not so nuetral to dull sounding. I play vinyl on a original rega 2 and use audioquest type 4 speaker cable with a jaguar audioquest IC into a phono amp. Have dali ikon 2 speakers and rotel ra 1062. Should I be looking at different IC or speaker cable? Thanks.

Stringreen's headphone suggestion is an excellent thought. I like my system, but it's in a difficult room (you know, wife and kids involved).

A sub-$200 pair of headphones (eg Grado SR-80 or 125) can add a new dimension to a mid-fi system; I love my SR-80's.

On another note, don't those Dali's have the twin tweeter? I'm surprised you find them "neutral to dull sounding"; I more often read of them being accused of being too bright.
