this is my system. its still very simple. for some reason when i look at it it looks so bare, i think i need to add a few more components. ha! any comments as to what useful additions there might be for me at this stage would be appreciated. it sounds great to me, although i have about a months worth of upgrading left before i can say its complete(for a while at least). i will upgrade the player in a few weeks, just because its the lowest end piece in the system and im considering what other players(for music only and ill keep the dvd player a for movies as i only watch occasionally). ill also be adding a bunch more room treatment, bass traps etc, and a second subwoofer, although the james is a great little sub, i want a little more fullness in the very lowest region, so im considering another james 1000 or possibly a rel britianna B2??? not sure if even another james will do what i want, but i want to keep it cause its so fast and tight, very smooth, musical little sub.
i got 3 new PS Audio Xstream Plus power cables from a fellow audiogoner for about $500. Worth every penny in my book. there are a few people that say power cables are snake oil but i fully disagree. With the addition of power cables it changed my mind on getting rid of my NAD reciever(for a while).
Try some aftermarket power cables. i cant say enough about the difference they made for me. my low end was weak and the power cables really improved the punch and definition in the low notes. they might make you reconsider a new sub. just a thought. Justin
