| Which component to upgrade 1st ? @audphile1 really enjoyed your reply. I’ve pretty much mapped out my plan. Dac first, brand TBA at a later date. First replace dac and node. Then preamp, then speakers. These moves will be at least a year apart for each. So here is the new dilemm... | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? @ghdprentice really interested to know which SFs you chose. When I do swap speakers SF is my choice as well. If I can one day find a used set of Olympic Nova IIs life would be grand. Ty | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? thanks @facten and @audition-audio @audition__audio Her speakers are indeed a challenge to tubes. Likely in a perfect world the Ref150 would be a better choice. Warmth is something I've always preferred hence tubes. My preamp is good but is a ... | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? @Charles1Dad. Indeed I think it's a toss up Weiss or Ref5 first. Will likely go for the one I can find that fits the budget first. Can't lose either way. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? thanks so much to everyone, you've shared some great ideas!! I will update when my next purchase is made. meanwhile keep the beat. | |

| Which component to upgrade 1st ? ghdprentice, ah ha! I was thinking PH8 when I get around to it. Thanks for the shout back on that! | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? lalitk, replacing the qutest is a great suggestion. I've looked into tube dacs but have not found one around town to audition. MHDT and Border Patrol recos are appreciated. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? mwinkc I made the mistake of previewing a the Aurender A10 and N100 streamers in my system, ever since then my ears protest when listening to the node. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? lwin, ty! I admit currently I listen to mostly digital, and the node is definitely the weak link in my system. I find I'm torn though I keep thinking about how much better my phono could sound with a better phono amp. Then again these are first wo... | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? ghdprentice, great advice. I'm still trying to wipe the drool off my keyboard after checking out your systems. Well Done Sir!! I have the AR phono amp on my list as well. They are pricey, have you ever listened to the lower end AR phono amps? | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? That’s an interesting thought. What would you suggest? | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? Thanks for the reply. Yep the 501 gets such great reviews. Going to have to set some alerts on all of the above soon. | |
