Description

this current set up is the result of 8 years of swapping out components and i have nver been happier. right now i have no desire to "upgrade" anything. not that i don't think there's better but for the money spent, i think this is hard to beat. odd thing is that all along i always had tube pre/power amp. somehow i stumbled onto this ss stuff and am digging it. i'm a sucker for good soundstaging and where i have ended up shows that.

    • Harman Kardon CDR-20
    got this a few years back and it has paid its dues. made many a cd. i love it as a cd player even w/o the copying capabilities. its also nice to have the two seperate drives so i can load two discs and plop my lazy ass down and not have to get up for twice as long.
    • Rega Planar 2
    upgraded the motor. great 'table.
    • Rega RB-250
    just had the incognito cable installed. its great.
    • Denon DL-160
    just got this along w/ my incognito upgrade. best cartridge i have owned. great soundstage and very forgiving of surface noise. sorry the photo is bad.
    • NAD 1020
    really great preamp considering i paid next to nothing for it. the phono stage makes it a real steal.
    • AMC 2100
    my budy got this amp and it was absolutely horrid out of the box. just shrill and harsh- really unlistenable. then a few years later- he loaned it to me when my st-70 was being repaired and since it had broke in it was amazing. i liked it so much i traded him a pair of asl wave 8's for it.
    • Acoustic Energy aegis 3
    really great speakers- soundstage very well and have surprisingly deep bass.
    • sonoran signature signature
    great interconnect.
    • transparent The Link 200
    runs from my preamp to amp.
    • audioquest hyperlitz green

Hello Thad6000!

Do you have AE Aegis Evo Three (that's what I have myself) or other model?

Try removing the grills from the speakers, it will make the sound more transparent and immediate. Also, you may try to toe in the speakers, so that they look directly into your face. It will improve the sound stage.

Did you ever try to bi-wire these speakers? Any improvement or waste of money? I need your advice.
