| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Thank you all for the thoughtful comments... Keep ’em coming! I am inspired to try 2 things, one at a time of course. First, room correction. I am looking into a diy sound panel. As I am a photographer, I was delighted to discover there is a print... | |

| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Lowrider, I am using the same Cardas 300B XLR cables for every connection in the system, save for a USB that connects the mac to the dac, which is a transparent performance usb.There are 4 runs on IC.
