A lot of audiophiles are hung up on the idea that speaker upgrades are the best way to improve the sound of their systems. Invest in the best speakers they can afford, and then use the remainder of their budget on eletronics and sources like DACs and/or turntable front ends. In today’s episode the Audiophiliac turns that idea upside down, stick with your present speakers, but upgrade your amp and source(s).
