what to address first

I have Theta Casablanca II,standard DACs,Theata Dreadnaught 5x225 amp,aerial acoustic 10T,CC5,5B rears,SW12 woofer,Nordost wiring. Should I upgrade blanca to III,add superior DAC or replace with Meridian processor. Upgrade 10 to 20T and ultimately get monoblocks or replace with Meridian 7000? I heard Dynaudio Temptations that were great. Will 20T be as good for home theatre? thanks!ken

If you haven't done so already, I'd first install dedicated circuits/lines for the amp, another for all digital, another for your analog (preamp, turntable), and yet another for your sub.

Next, I'd seek out the best dedicated line conditioners and install them. Until you do the above, you'll never know the true capabilities of your components and system.

I would then recommend auditioning the Nuforce Ref 9 Special Edition amps. Then the cables and ics.

p.s. I own the 10Ts and I'm a Nuforce and Foundation Research dealer.

Place your order for the APL-modified TEAC Esoteric UX-1 universal player that APL calls the NWO-1 and sells for about $19k (you will no longer need a preamp). Imagine the performance when you merge the undeniably finest transport mechanism built with perhaps the most talented modifier. Check out aplhifi.com for more info.

Next audition a pair or set of Nuforce Ref 9 Special Edition amps which retail for only $4400 a pair.

You can also do better regarding scs and ics far better regarding line conditioning.
