I think its time to upgrade something i want to improve my system as I want to tighten up the bass and I believe that the sound stage could be improved. I listen to a wide range of music but mainly dance music.
Here is my current system -
Source Components -
Marantz CD63 KI MK2 with these upgrades
Audiocom superclock 2.
Audiocom super-regulators for the output stage and DAC chip.
Elna Silmic II capacitors in all critical locations in the output stage and around the analogue stage for the DAC chip.
Sanyo Oscon capacitors around the digital stage for the DAC chip.
Lowered output impedance.
Lowered output stage PSU impedance.
Headphone amp removed.
Mute circuit removed.
Output capacitors removed.
Output stage signal path drastically cleaned up!
Decoder sorted out by replacing caps, sorting out layout and using chokes to separate it from the rest of the digital stage PSU (also the cpu is treated in the same way).
Amplification -
Marantz PM7200
Speakers -
Acoustic Energy Aesprit 309
Cables -
1 x Homemade interconnect all the rest QED Qunex 1, Speaker cable also homemade with banana plugs
Which part should I upgrade first to achieve what I want? What do you guys suggest I upgrade it to?
Your advice and knowledge would be great guys
