Vic, what's next on your upgrade agenda? Any short/long term plans on taking your system further?
There is not a lot left, here is the upgrade list:
I'm still using my MC162 to power the bass cabinets, I will for sure get 2 more MC501s to take over for the MC162. This will take some time to save up for.
I'm still using AR Proseries II speaker wire for the bass cabinets, I would like to match the speaker columns wire which is MIT Oracle 2.1. This will also take some time to save up for.
Once I get the next 2 MC501s I will need a XLR splitter for the MDA1000 output, now I'm using both the RCA and XLR outputs.
Once I get the next 2 MC501s I will be using 3 sets of XLR cables. I'm happy with the Guerrilla XLR cables right now but I may try some other cables out (most likely more MIT).
A better rack for the equipment would be nice.
I was thinking of putting up some more room treatments, some ASC PicturePanels would be nice.
I have 3 Shunyata Python power cables, I would like to use these cables on all the equipment (this is a small priority).
The MQ109 equalizer that I'm using on the bass cabinets is great but it is not internally balanced. This is no problem now because the MC162 is not balanced. Once I get the next 2 MC501s I may look for an equalizer that is internally balanced (this is a small priority).
Actually the next 2 upgrades I will do are:
Get a new TV. My TV has a high pitched transformer noise that drives me crazy. I often have the TV on while listening to music (either for the MS300 or sports or shows). My top priority in a new TV is it must be quiet. I'm thinking the 37" LCD from Samsong.
Get some long cables (coax digital, video) and a remote extender so I can put the MS300 around the corner in my bedroom.
Then once I get a high def TV I'll want to get a MVP871 to take advantage of it.
WOW you really opened up a can of worms there. It just never seems to end. :sigh: Did I miss anything?
Other than getting the MS300 into the bedroom and maybe the TV, I don't plan on doing any of these upgrades until at least next year.
