IMO the most value for improvement comes from taming your room via room treatment. All the wood and furniture, etc will not tame the rooms sound wave interactions. Its a lesson I learned from years of experience. After many, many upgrades to new and "better" equipment and accessories the single least expensive and highest value came from proper room treatments. Room treatment will make the largest overall improvement and is the least expensive. I tried many expensive ways to improve my experience that did in fact make subtle improvements but none were as pronounced as when I treated the room. I suggest to get your rooms acoustics under control and then decide if you still need to spend big money on subtle improvements.
The next step to a better system
Hi everyone
I have been putting together a system for the last few years and need some of your wise and varied knowledge to help me take the next step.
My current system is
Harman Kardon HK990 intergrated
Revel F52 speakers
SVS PB12 NSD Sub
VPI Aries Scout with an Ortofon 2m Bronze mm cart
Herron VTPH 1mm phono preamp
Onkyo CDP DXC390
Belden BJC LC-1 interconnects
12 gauge, 87 strand, oxygen free copper speaker cables
Every step I've taken so far has lead me to a better audio listening place.
I would also like to figure out the best way to introduce a good digital music source into my system. Currently I just hook up my smart phone through an Aux on the HK990 and listen to Pandora and Spotify.
And of course I would like to improve on the analogue side of my system.
So any guidance would be helpful.
Thank for your time and knowledge
