Hi,

I am starting to explore improving my listening experience and looking to upgrade my system over time. I have a pretty basic setup of a Marantz PM-68, Canton Bookshelf speakers, for listening sources I use Spotify, CD's (via an Oppo 103) and basic turntable.

So, I'm joining this board to start learning more and ask questions as I begin to upgrade my system.

Thanks, Richard

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

The best bang for the buck upgrade I have experienced is changing the wall socket. Checkout Pangea, Mapleshade, PS Audio, MIT, etc. It is less than $100.
