Any tweaks I'm missing?
If you’re more interested in upgrading components I would suggest Michael Percy audio things like FRED’s on page 9 power conditioner Cardas recepticles

CD Player or Transport

If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…
femoore12 353 posts 09-27-2021 2:23am I ask my wife to always remind me why I got into this hobby when I start talking about new components. "You told me to remind you that it's music first and gear second."   So true, but It’...
