Description

Really like my system now. The only improvement I wish to get is clarity and soundstage. Next step is to get acoustic panels behind the speakers. Also I'm shopping for a DAC.

i'd contact cary's tech & let him give you the info on how it sounds & it's best executed....

you beat me to it Rbc...i was going to suggest hot-rodding the SLI-80. there are some other nice upgrades you can do as well...direct coupling, hexfreds, etc. (all the F-1 goods). I did not choose the direct coupling option when I purchased mine becaue I like a more fluid sound like the stock sli-80. looks like a nice system, enjoy!
