Dealing with power is very important. I had horrible congestion on a Krell which was plugged into a surge suppressor power board. When I plugged it straight into the wall with a shielded power cable, it transformed to be light and airy like no other tweak or interconnect has ever done for me in my 25 years listening.
Congested sound - more power or resolution?
My sound has improved markedly with the upgrades I have done. One part of my music collection still isn't right though. Previously at higher SPLs all music got bad slap echo and bright, room treatment has sorted that out.
Now with some tracks mainly rock with guitars especially, the sound gets congested, image is lost and it gets grungy. Have I met the limits of my room, or with more power would I have better control of my speakers under a lot of stress? Or would a better quality spinner give more improvement through better resolution in the first place?
My system in in my signature, but breifly Arcam DV27, Meridian 861, Krell Showcase amp, Wilson Sophia.
Both player and power amps will get upgraded, I'm just trying to prioritise my budget.
