Hi all,
I am relatively new to hifi and wanted to get opinions/advice regarding whether a single upgrade would allow me to get more out of my system. I am currently in no way dissatisfied with the sound, however with a bit of extra cash to spend i am wondering if i can improve the sound. I listen exclusively to FLAC music stored on my PC and have tried to keep the signal path as short as possible. My setup is as follows:
As for cables I am using a Bluejeans digital coax, Nordost blue heaven analogue RCA interconnect, and Nordost Flatline Gold MK1 Biwire speaker cable (the latter two bought cheaply off ebay).
I am not sure how well balanced of a system this is and have some ideas as to what would be the next step(s), but I would like to get other opinions. I will likely be looking to buy something second hand off ebay to open up more options. Any advice is greatly appreciated
