Well, not a small tweak but your Marantz is the weak link. A really good tube preamp would perk that system up to the next level.
Suggestions on minor upgrades to purchase
Hello everyone, I’ve recently sold most of my old system due to wanting to try some different components out. Recently I purchased a rel 212se to pair with my Martin logan esl impression 11a’s and I am curious as to what else minor upgrade wise I could purchase. Im 85/15 movies/music and as for electronics I am utilizing a pair of ps audio m700 monoblocks with a Marantz av7704 processor and as for conditioners I have a furman elite 20 pfi and a furman elite 15 pfi. I had recently looked into possibly purchasing some cheap power cables to replace stock(I don’t believe in the sparkly effects expensive power cables bring as im not a music buff) and idk which brands to look at. As for streamers I barely utilize my Lumin u1 mini and thinking of possibly downgrading to the new node since Apple Music is all I listen to(would this heavily degrade the quality?). Any suggestions would be fantastic, just looking for a few minor upgrades possibly to get my esl 11s a bit more transparency and detail.
