My system sounds truly great. It has sounded better. I am happy with my system. I would be happier if it sounded like it used to, before I destroyed it by trying to make a small repair and shorted everything out. Most of my Audire equipment has been repaired (Amp Preamp, Head Amp), as has my CD player.
The rest is temporarily replaced with Bryston (Amp, Preamp; yes I need two complete systems to run it properly). Boo f'ing Hoo! I am lucky anything was able to be fixed. I am still amazed that 24 big Motorola outputs. powered by 4 500 watt trannies, which nearly deafened me when they tried to torch my big B&W's (due to 120 volts going through all the inputs), did not damage the speakers. Yeah! B&W. I am truly impressed!
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
I really love my stereo currently. I keep thinking I should be looking for the next piece to upgrade - phono stage, stereo subs, etc., but honestly not sure what to change or why I’d potentially spend more money to achieve a result that’s lesser or equal to my current sound quality. I sorta feel clueless as to how to proceed without screwing up what I have. I know it can get better but honestly I’m at a place when I just don’t know how it can. Hmmmmm.... not a bad problem I guess. Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.
