Look to your room and add room treatment to dial in your sound. Your room is what you hear most and effects the sound the most. I'd buy a good quality (not stupid money) USB calibrated Microphone and REW software and look at your room acoustics. That will give you by far the most bang for your buck in return on your dollar for sound improvements. .
Help wanted spending money and improving my system.
I’ve got the upgrade itch and would like feedback on what piece should be replaced or what should be added. If this system was yours, which piece would you replace and what would you buy as a replacement or what would you add to improve the sound/experience. I’m not considering replacing my cabling at this point in time. Please, 1 item only. So, what would you add or replace? I’m very happy with what I’ve put together, but I’ve got the itch, and scratching is not enough!! Current system: Carver Crimson amp, Primaluna Dialogue preamp, Schiit Yggdrasil D/A, Schiit Lokius equalizer, Jays CD player Mk III, Oppo 103 (for SACD only) Thorens TD145 with Ortofon 2M Bronze, M&K V75 sub, Klipsch R-15 sub, Roon Nucleus, Mac mini server (for iTunes) and Goldenear Triton References, home made bass traps.
