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!

I agree with millercarbon in that some decent cables (look at the opening price point Black Cat) and some rudimentary room treatments (first reflection points are a good starting point) before buying new components.

Dont take millercarbon too seriously. He has gone past drinking the Synergistic Research Koolaid; he now swims in it.

I dont know the Carver preamp but I have never liked anything I have heard made by Carver. Have not heard his new tube amps.
