Alright, it has started! I tore down the wall where the system rack and media rack will be transferred into. My bro is making some cabinets for me and wiring some dedicated electrical outlets, probably 3 or 4 15amp lines.
Once everything is in place, I have the following upgrades which are ready to install. My question is, in what order should I do these upgrades?? Should I do them one at a time and "enjoy" the improvements at each step, or should I just upgrade the whole shebang in one shot?
Available upgrades:
8 RDO tweeters for the SRS (replaces stock)
Upgraded subs for the dual SVS (replaces stock)
Audio Art Interconnects (replaces Audio Research cables)
Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro (Replaces SAE pre-amp)
Calibrate with SPL meter (before or after upgrades?)
I'm really excited about this and should get it all running by next weekend.
