Made a number of significant changes over the past year, notably the Ayre CD player, Mac C500 pre-amp, and the Audience power conditioner. I also upgraded to Tara Labs power cords with PAD speaker cables and interconnects. I am very pleased with the sound of my current system - very detailed and open yet musical and engaging. However, one can't help but to wonder how a more capable pair of speakers would sound in this room...
Hi - Looks like a very nice enjoyable system - Just wanted to share something you might consider - I have replaced my diamond back which feeds my Hydra with at first a Taipan Helix and then a python Helix - Both of these made such a dramatic improvement it was unbelievable - These cords are fairly affordable now that shunyata has a new line out - the helix cords are super - This had started me on a power cord frenzy - BUT the biggest improvement in every way - no compromise and night /day difference has been from the wall to the Hydra - Let me now if you try one ..TONY
