You say nothing about room acoustics and/or power supply. Are you able to have a dedicated AC circuit and upgraded AC receptacle? That can improve the sound of your current system and assist in any upgrade of equipment you might make in the future.
Guidance
I’m new to the forum and wanted to get some guidance from the members.
I have been making a slow walk from an audio enthusiast to an audiophile, and at somewhat of a loss in terms of how to proceed with improvements / tweaks to my system. My current system is:
Michi x3 integrated
technics 1210 turntable with a Hana mh cartridge
blue sound node as my music transport and dac
dynaudio contour 30 floor standing speakers
Nordic purple flare speaker cables
all my interconnects are some version of audio quest rca cables
i have an isoacoustic zazen as base for my tt
I have synergistic research mig sx for isolation under the michi
and isoacoustics gaia 2s under the speaker
i feel like my system sounds pretty good and I personally get multiple hours of listening from my system (almost daily)but I feel like I am missing some weight in mid frequencies and the sound can seem thin now and then.
I’ve had the system as is for a few years and I’m starting to wonder what else could I do to improve the soundstage and improve the weighty-ness coming from my current system. I know for a fact that I’m going to go either separates route or get a very good integrated amp (gryphon 333 or dartzeel or vitus sia 30) in a couple of years and really don’t want to monkey with the amp. Any suggestions in terms of what I could change without spending a lot of money now (since I’m saving for the dream build) to improve my systems.
any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@samiamsam If possible have one of two dedicated AC circuit breakers added for your audio AC needs along with upgraded AC receptacles. If that is not doable then at least upgrade your AC outlets vs standard outlets that you might be currently using. A power conditioner is a possibility if you can't go the route of dedicated circuits however I would suggest you work on your room acoustics first. |
