Optimize or buy new gear..?
Recently had the experience of upgrading a single power cable in my system and it made enough of an improvement that I’m not in such a hurry to buy new speakers. Made me think about optimizing / trying to get the most out of your system by working on the interconnects, power cables, speaker cables before say giving up on the other pieces of your system. Wonder if others have had similar experiences?
