About a year ago, I posted a thread looking for suggestions identifying the "weakest link" in my system. Basically, I was looking for suggestions on what area should be targeted for improvement. At the time, the consensus was to get a dedicated 2 channel preamp as I was using a AV receiver as my preamp. I followed that suggestion and was blown away by the difference it made. Nothing is by any means top notch gear, but I've been able to compile a really nice sounding system at a realitively affordable price.
Here's my current set up (for stereo listening).
-Belles soloist 3 preamp
-Parasound HCA1500 amp
-JBL XPL200a speakers
-Dennon dvd-1930ci as my CD player
-monster m850 interconnects
-some sort of larger gauge generic speaker wire (I can't remember what I used).
If this was your system, what would you target for improvement? I'm open to all ideas and I won't be offended by any thoughts you have. I don't have a budget right now, nor a time a frame, I'm just looking for ideas.
Thanks,
Brett
