TU-8900 upgrade


I have a TU-8900 in my 2nd system with a BlueSound node and a pair of Harbeth P3ESRs.

The 8900 is the standard setup and I am wondering if anyone has upgraded with the Lundahl OPTs and audiophile caps?

Does the Bluesound node source warrant the upgrade?  Are the P3ESRs sufficiently resolving that I'd hear a significant difference?

Thoughts?

I did a test of the P3ESRs, I moved them over to my main system and was very surprised at how the sound from approx. $2k speakers compared with that from the $37,.5k Rockports!  The lowest base was not there and they were not quite as transparent, but I was amazed especially at the midrange. I played my "emotion test piece", the third movement of the Op. 132 and was transfixed just as I am with the large speakers.

I m not sure why I had not done this earlier (duh!)

I am now undertaking a rework of the 2nd system.

I have ordered the Lundahl kit from the UK, let's hope it gets through import without crazy tariffs.  Also a pair of Jupiter Copper/Beeswax caps.

I am going to order the Eversolo DMP A8, it has excellent reviews, there are positive comments on this forum, and it is small enough to fit in the bookcase that acts a a stand for the 2nd system.
