Next upgrade?

Dear all,

In the pursue of the best possible sound - given a limited budget! - I am constantly thinking about the next upgrade (or mod) to my system. I’m sure I am not alone...

Right now I have the following :

- Monitor Audio Golden Reference 60 Speakers

- Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated Amp

- Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport

- Border Patrol SE-i DAC

I like the system a lot, but I wonder what can I do next (excluding cables or power supply). What would be the place where I can get the most improvement from an (second hand) upgrade?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Fab

What kind of stand or rack do you use? What are using for couplers or feet under your gear and speakers?

Hey, this is not the same as cables or power...

Seriously, I would invest here and raise the level of all your components.

my two cents:

set up the REW and find out your room characteristics, you will see where to place your budget and time.

if the spectrum looks perfect, congrats. but still you can work on subsonic bandwidth which would make the sound change you may feel.

"I like the system a lot..."

How long have you had it in it's current form?  Have you done anything to the space it's in?  What do you play on it that makes you want to fuss about with it?

Seems, as reubent comments, a 'solid system' as it stands...

What shortcomings seem to irk you?

(...just being the 'devils' advocate' tonight/this morning....because I can....;)....)
