Anthony John Colbert Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 What upgrades are being planned by the stereo net dwellers? I'm planning on a better phono stage and maybe a cable upgrade too
LogicprObe Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Since I couldn't be bothered going out or throwing a party.................I put a new motherboard and SATA 3 SSD in my computer!
firefly0071 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I am doing fine tuning: - power cables - Bi-wired speaker terminal interconnects All up will be $1k. Speaker cables may follow.
paully Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I'm getting a mcintosh mc352 and c48. can't wait. panting right now! 1
shaky Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Upgrade (I hope so)- getting my speaker project to the point where I can listen to them, hope better than my Dyns at least. Wish list- a new Pre/ DAC Pre.
Stewyh Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Audiolab 8200CDQ. Will replace Technics AVR and Pioneer DVD player (used for cds only). Unsure at this point whether I'll get a power amp to match and use my Usher S520s or forgo the amp and use my Yamaha HS80m powered monitors. Will depend on which result sounds better to me....also a new phono stage down the track....nothing too pricey, sub $500.
Phantom Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) This year I will effectively have 2 new systems. I bought a new pair of KEF LS 50 speakers a few weeks ago and a used Naim Nait 5i, these will be used with my Rega Saturn for the second system. I am currently moving house but will be buying some new larger speakers when we are settled again and can do some more auditions and for the moment will be used with a Yamaha CD-S2000, but later on this year I am thinking of going to a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and transport or maybe an Olive 6HD cd/music server Edited January 1, 2013 by Phantom
matt200sr Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Re-tube the input and rectification stages of the Tempest with Mullards
L J T Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I have a new DAC and Pre coming soon. Undecided yet, might even get them as a combined unit. Setting up a small HT also with all entry level gear, NAD T748 & Usher s520 standmounts powered my Emotiva XPA-5.
jt301 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I think it's time to explore computer audio, so I'll probably get a DAC this year.
Batty Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I hope to get an Audio-GD DI this year and a Graham Slee headphone amp.
Jventer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hopefully an Audiophilleo - still figuring out a 1 or a 2.
Gabba Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hopefully a Graham Slee Reflex or similar phono.Just bought Senn HD650 and a new tv too. Good start to the year.
