I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?


Had a productive couple of weeks on the used gear market and today has been digital demo day (Analog arrives next week). Added a Bryston BCD-3 and original Tara Labs Prime I/C’s to my system at very good prices. 

I don’t have “golden ears” by any stretch but I’m gob smacked at the results.

The BCD-3 is replacing an Oppo UDP-205 w/ DHL BL-1 I/C’s. Rest of gear is an Anthem STR integrated and ML Monti’s. My bass has easily doubled, maybe tripled. I can feel the pressurization in my room and it’s tight not bloated. 

I think this has been the biggest jump up in SQ I’ve experienced. What were your biggest surprises/improvements regardless of budget?

Modification of my thirty year old Magnepan MG IIIa’s due to generosity of Peter Gunn.

Installation of DYI interconnects derived from friendly and patient input from Steve Reeve and Joe Levy.

Installation of 0 AWG speaker cables designed by b4icu.

Installation of Yeti battery power supply.

These are inexpensive tweaks yielding big dividends.

I am looking forward to learning of additional tweaks from Audiogon posters.

Cheers!
