My wife says yes Help what to upgrade next?

Greetings "Gretchen",

It's always fun to upgrade. Cables are definitely an avenue to persue. I would consider going with a preamp first however. I have seen one right here on AudiogoN that might just be a great buy. Take a look at this option...

PREAMPLIFIER OPTION - Audcom AP-110

I hope you're having as much fun as I've had helping you!

H a p p y s h o p p i n g !

Best regards,

Thanks for the ideas so far. I forgot say that the Theta Miles is the balanced version & that I'm using it via. bal. interconnects.So the preamp would have to be balanced. I had Tara labs & MIT and seem to like these the best.
I would like the imaging to become more precise and be able to point out the diffence between instruments better.

Gretchen: I suggest you get the most out of yr PRESENT system before changing active components.
1) Give aftermarket pc's a try on your system. Larger gauge rather than smaller... Check out the sound.
2) Then review speaker positioning (if you haven't already) & tweak equipment support. Check results again.
3)Then try the best cables you can get on loan. Do a final check on the sound.
Then determine what's missing & if it's related to active h/ware. Cheers!

Gregm was right on. Start with power cords and consider a power conditioner. Something like an Ultimate Outlet with a thirty day return policy from PS Audio might work. Then interconnects and spkr cables can fine tune the foundation you've provided with the pc's.

I would definitely replace the Miles and if necessary add a preamp. There are some good CD players that will work amp-direct in lieu of the Miles but there are also many good choices that are only line level. Either way you will definitely improve the performance of your system by upgrading your CD player. The Miles never was one of my favorite players, and digital has come a long way since that model was released.
