Where’s My Weakest Link?


Hi All,

I often find myself wondering where to put resources (money) to take my system to the next level. Over the years I have slowly acquired equipment and sometimes I am impressed with the “upgrade”, others I am disappointed with the change/cost ratio. I recently purchased Jim Smiths book, Get Better Sound and was blown away with the changes I was able to make with what I have but I am now back at crossroads of , whats next?

I am running a Bluesound Node 2i> Carver C-16 pre> Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA250> Thiel 1.2.

So what do you think the weakest link is / whats the smartest upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

OP, 

If you love the sound of your power amp and is not ready to part with it, try replacing the electrolytics as almarg suggested. You'll hear a difference. I just replaced the electrolytics of a c-j MF-2100 power amp, PF-R and PV-10AL preamps and am happy with the result. Can't speak for the Carver.
