If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be?


What change would you make. I wouldn’t change anything in mines. Maybe a bigger speaker but I’m very happy. What about the rest of y’all?

Besides better organization of my living room the only gear I have seriously heard that was just so spectacularly better than current is perhaps the CAT preamp and Vandersteen amp.  Yes, they make an amp. 

Besides that I’ve heard incremental differences in very expensive gear but these two are the only bits of gear I heard that actually made me wish I was part of the 1%. 

Everything else compared to my Luxman integrated was just a small improvement for tons  of cash or worse.  Those two bits of gear though are amazing. 

I sometimes think I can go a bigger speaker.  My infigo electronics and cables have me set there. My gato speakers are great I just think I would love to try another speaker one day. I’m happy but just curious. 

Well I have to say a pair of horn speakers since I just bought them not sure exactly when I'll have them but very excited.

The question has been posed many times before. I will respond as I have in the past.

 

I would change nothing with the component system.   However, living in the overpriced and overrated suburbs of NYC, with extraordinary real estate and education taxes, my listening room in my small home is the untreated living room, on a suspended floor system.  If I move out of the area in retirement or otherwise hit the numbers big and stay, I would have at least have a dedicated treated trapezoidal listening room, possibly designed ground up with a solid foundation, no parallel surfaces, vaulted ceiling rising front to back, and four dedicated 20 amp lines from a separate breaker.  Oh … to sleep, to sleep, per chance to dream (note I left out the die at my age).
