The biggest bang I have obtained for my buck has been with source component PC upgrades. Without getting into the details, because ... well, quite frankly I don't think I understand it all, with PC upgrades I found a noticeable reduction in the digititus and glare associated with CD playback either from a dedicated CD player, or when used on a DVD player for CD playback. I found limited (tough call) benefit from PC upgrades on my pre and power amp. I BELIEVE that the quality of the power supplies on the different components to be the factor in what I observed/heard. YMMV. Good luck.
How important is PC for CD vs Amp Pre
I love this site for info. Great people with sound knowledge. How much priority does one put into the CD player vs the Power Amp and Pre-Amp. I am running a BMI ELL with my BAT VKD5SE and Martin-Logan ReQuests and I believe the BMI WHALE would be the best candidate for the rest of the system. Your comments are much appreciated and requested.
Thanks,
