OMG. What now?


After all the listening, the buying, the seeking, the reading, the tweaking, the testing, the critiquing, the latest trend, and the old forgotten mend… my system sounds wonderful - to me.

I’m enjoying the music without thinking about this thing, that thing, the worst thing, the next thing, the best thing… another thing. But I just know there’s something better!

That’s it. It’s the ultimate blessing or, dare I say it, the ultimate curse. I’ve reached the end of the audiophile’s dilemma. Or have I? What now? So,

1. I’m not using a preamp between my digital source and my amp. Both are outstanding, so do I really need one?

2. Where’s the best place to sell my used stuff?

3. What’s the most obvious “weak link” that’s holding my system back from a yet undiscovered audiophile music nirvana?

We all here suffer the same neuroses, so any help is appreciated.

In all seriousness, you know something a miss if you’re thinking about something better! Maybe you need a good preamp or something else in your system that you must do before you spent your $$$ on a preamp. What about your room acoustics?

By listing your components, we are still speculating as what may sounds best or yield considerable improvements. IMHO, you get to musical nirvana by trial and error. Even if we share same components, they can sound different because of room interactions and our hearing abilities.
