Upgrading plans

Posted by: Sproggle on 28 May 2001

Years ago, I used to write earnest but wildly optimistic upgrading plans, which culminated in systems that included active Isobariks or SBLs.

Now, suitably chastened by real life, my plans are somewhat more modest:

2002 HiCap (s/h) for pre-amp
2003 MC cartridge - possibly Dynavector 20XL
2004 NAPSC for pre-amp; NAP 140 (s/h)
2005 CD5 (s/h)
2006 Replacement cartridge; Fraim
2007 HiCap for CD5; more Fraims
2008 Even more Fraims
2009 Speakers to replace my Kans!!!??? [They will, after all, be 22 years old at this point].

Does anyone have equally crazy plans? big grin

Even crazier...

2001
1) Buy CD player mid summer (CDX, Ikemi or CD55)
2) End of year buy a 250

2002
1) June, buy Supercap or XPS (if I get CDX)
2) End of year buy 2nd 250

Current system Mimik/72/HiCap/110/Kan II

Having said all this, the best laid plans and all that!

Sproggle,

Just looked at your system and if it were mine, I would do nothing except maybe to get a decent moving coil cartridge and later on a hicap/250. The rest of your system is really well balanced.
