weak link/improvement to my system: advice

Hi,

I love Audiogon forums where I have received a lot of great advice so thanks in advance.

My hope was to get insight as to what you might think would be weak links or improvements to my system. (If someone dislikes a particular brand I don't think it is helpful however to say yuck krell sucks or wilson is overpriced). I thought perhaps the speaker cable but then read an article by the founder of McIntosh who lambasted the need to get a reall expensive speaker cable like Vahalla. Ok enough with the caveats.

I have the following:

1. WILSON WATT PUPPY 7 SPEAKERS
2. KRELL 400CX
3. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) 51SE Tube Preamp
4. Cary 306-200 cd player
5. Cardas Golden Reference cable XLR between Preamp/Amp
6. Nordost Quattro Fil cable XLR between Preamp/CD
7. Nordost Red Dawn Speaker Cable

The Krell amplification is crap, box that up and send it to me right away! I will send you something with which you can replace it.

What is wrong with your system now that you think you need to spur the economy? My personal preference for some of the cable would be different, but nothing there looks bad, except of course for the amps.

Dude
im not so sure you have a "Weak Link"
Seems pretty solid.

Have you tried any different power cords or are you runnin stock?

Other than cable upgrades, yer looking at a pretty significant amount of cast to upgrade anything.

How about this, rather than asking what your weak link is, are there any aspects of this bitchin beautiful rig you are not completly satisfied with?

Maybe if you want to try with improvements you should start looking at accoustical tweaks. That without a doubt would be the cheapest way to enhance the duality of your rig. You are definatly hitting the realm of diminished returns.
