Basically I have been putting this together for over a year now. It is an unbelieveable stereo, with huge amounts of detail, air, and palpability. I guess I am only looking for little tweaks that might take me to the next level. There isn't much more that I feel I can do without upgrading the speakers and I have a small room, so it might not even do all that much, please if you have any ideas, don't hestitate to tell me, thanks
Sounds like you have a very nice system. One thing you might consider is a different/bigger/better subwoofer for perhaps the same price. A 10 inch driver is a woofer (not a subwoofer) and simply cannot reproduce the lowest of the lows (which much music has) as well as a 12 inch or especially a 15 or 18 inch subwoofer driver can. Look for a musical sub. Tweaks to consider: Try replacing your power cords with in-line power conditioners for each component. You could try Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 in-line conditioners. (Big difference in soundstage, lowered noise floor, and sibilants.) PS Audio Power Ports. Dedicated circuits/lines for each component. Use custom 10 gauge OFC romex for each run. Move all audio circuits on the service panel so that all are connected to the same phase of 115. Vibrapods or other isolation cones under all gear. -John
