I have been working on this for some time and each change has produced very noticable and positive results. The most recent component addition was changing from a Bel Canto DAC 1.1 to the Muse 296, which was a huge change for the better. The 296 is truly a wonderful sounding processor the dCS rig is the only thing I have heard that compares. The most recent change of all was to convert all the ICs to analysis plus (solo crystal oval analogue and digital oval s/pdif) these just made everything come together. I listen almost exclusively to classical music and the system sounds phenomenal. I spend alot of time in orchestra and chamber music rehearsals and concerts and this system gives me more of the sound than I ever thought possible for a very reasonable price tag. Any reactions/suggestions welcome.
