I'm currently using a Bryston BCD-1 cd player, Esoteric AI-10 integrated amp, and PMC FB1i speakers. The speaker cables are Morrow Audio SP1's, interconnects are Morrow Audio MA2 xlr's and power cables are Shunyata Venoms. No power/line conditioner. I have a small to mid size room, 16x13x8, and it's fully furnished and carpeted with an open staircase. What would you upgrade in this system?

Hi

Fix your AC in. AC improvement into your entire system can be bumped up with one component. This ends up being an upgrade to each component  by just using a piece like the Torus rm20 or something comparable. Seriousily consider 240v in from your fusebox. The end result is you will be hearing your music unchallenged by AC constraints that your system is probably suffering from now. Its night and day and the next logical upgrade  imo.

If I was upgrading,this would be the last thing I would spend my money on.Not to be rude Werd,but I believe there are mor upgrade steps before that one.
Just my opinion.

Vegasdave : Was there a particular Tannoy Prestige line speaker you were thinking of for the OP to check out as a comparison to the OB1i ? They run from 2G to nearly 40G...

D.D.


Anything from the Kensington on up.
