I added a UD503 to my vintage rig early this year and really like it for the price. It works flawlessly and is not the weak link in that system.

For me, upgrading to the Wilson Sasha's and then moving to the ARC Ref5se/Ref75se combination. All thanks to AudioAficionado members feedback and advice!

For me, the best was the addition of two MC 75's to drive the mid & upper frequencies and then use the MC 275 for the woofers.
Another was a Denon 103R. Not planned but one night my thumb collided with the cantilever of the Clear Audio Maestro. It went limp and dropped off. So far, the 103 is holding its own and then some. I like it!

New Audio Research DAC9 may be a close second once it fully breaks in!

I changed everything in my system this year except for speakers. Three upgrades are tied for best:
I added a Music Hall mmf2.3 turntable w/upgraded acrylic platter. While a very humble turntable, it showed me how much fun vinyl can be and how good it can sound (thanks to my local dealer for this goodie) I added a SonyHAP-Z1ES disc based music server which sounds fantastic on good recordings and makes "meh" recordings sound as good as possible. (Thanks to Ivan for this little gem) I upgraded to a McIntosh MA-6600 integrated amp w/TM-2 tuner! This is my first Mc amplification and tuner, and all I can say is "WOW". (Thanks to fellow AAer Don Bocadillo for this treat) An honorable mention are the two sets of Grand Prix isolation cones for my amp and server. I am anticipating wonderful improvement given what I heard at the local dealer. So for being wordy, but this has been an exciting year in audio for me between the great upgrades resulting in wonderful music and this site for the wonderful entertainment and sharing of experiences and knowledge. Is it just a coincidence sellers of illicit strep drugs and sellers of high-end audio are both called "Dealers?" Last edited by Mikeylee; 01-02-2017 at 02:06 AM.

Not at all. My wife refers to my dealer as the "crack house"!
