As for the system, I like the VPI. I read nothing but good things about the Classic series. And though I'd rather they came with a dust cover, I wouldn't dismiss getting one should my trusty HW-19 Mk. IV die anytime soon. Emphasis on "soon." My best upgrade is far more modest: the simple replacement of a WW Electra 7 PC on my preamp with a Transparent HPPC. The reason was a problem with the IEC grip (documented in a separate thread), and after a Shunyata Venom 3s improved the grip but seemed to roll off lower frequencies, the Transparent put them back big time. Not just extension but a bit more detail, it sounds like so far. All this from a 1m, $230 PC. Pricewise, it's not much of an upgrade because the WW is $10 more, actually; but the result is an upgrade and I'll take it.

For me it was going from an BlueSound Node, to Lumin T1, what an amazing upgrade.
A little less. was going from an normal ethernet cable to AudioQuest Cinnamon, it was impressive. So next i think will be a Powerstrip with a better power cord from the wall...just using a very simple power cord and a powerstrip from the supermarket , ha ha i know. Flemming |

Hard for me to pick one component as I have literally changed every component including the room and house where my system is located.
So I would say that having a dedicated room for my 2-ch. system is at the top of the list right along with the good fortune of being able to have what I do.
