what else do i need to improve sonic performance?


Luxman 550 A II
Harbeth Compact 7 ES3
AZ Hologram II
Rega P5 DV 10x5
Hegel DAC HD11
PS audio PWD
Nordost LS RD

Wondering if I change stock power cables and get power plant cleaner, how much could improve the sonics, certainly I am a novice in the hobby, and always reluctant to spend money in power cables and so on, in fact always used stock pieces,
really appreciate your help.

Mrtennis I dont know if you are talking about the Perfect wave DAC or the transport?
I have to be honest i feel more satisfy with teh sound coming out of the hegel HD11, back and for i tried so many times, maybe is just synergy with rest of the gear.
my room is around 5 meters long by 5 meters wide, but is sort of triangle shape, at the begining i hated but the sonics improved i guess was more psichological about the structural shape.
Maybe I am biased coming from full range speakers with amazing Dymanics as the AZ crescendos and Ayon triton amp, I was told by Paul from Tube USA that when you tried a 120 watts class A tube amp its hard to get satisfaction with less, but so far Luxman/harbeth is a very pleasant surprise
so the reviews and forums were right cause i bought them without havent listened, due to geographical circumstances and no dealers around with teh products.
I am missing dynamics and the cymbals of Pat Metheny group coming trough in the way we like, but certainly an amazing midrange to die for.

i will keep reading advice about power cables and power cleaner plants, maybe i can look into a cartridge upgrade on my rega P5.
Vinyl sound is keeping me closer to analog this days,
even with an excellent computer/DACs combo, i can be listening to lps whole day, Cds, get fatigue quiet fast what is a shame cause i have a lot of great music.

I cant thank you enough for your responses,
thank you all.
I have de ps audio phono that I forgot to mention.
Plus the luxman built in one.
I will call the cable company!
I will also look into cartridge upgrade, I think its the weakest link on my system today.
Re gards
what Tube DAC to pick from, i have 2 DACs on my home,
The HEGEL HD11 quiet impressive.
advice please
