I have a good middle of the road system with an Emotive preamp that has bluetooth for streaming Tidal, a Boxom Arthur Purifi 4215 driving KEF LS50 Metas and a KC62 sub. Right not it's a good enough setup to expose the next level of upgrades.... my room! There are bass hot spots that I can hear doing the subwoofer crawl so now I'm moving into room treatment. I can spend $$$ on gear but it's not really going to solve my room issues.
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.
