First and last thing to go...?

steveinaz

What would be your first and last thing to go out of your system, and why?

For me, the XM tuner would go first. The Polk tuner is fine, it's XM's quality that sucks.

My MF preamp would be the last thing to go. I love it.

heiney9

First to go - cdp-I can use something else as a transport

Last to go - SDA 1C's. Nothing else like them today.

BIZILL

first to go for me would be the avr. damn thing won't ever default to 7.1 but 5.1. have to toggle 23,568 times to get to plIIx.

last to go would be the speakers, as i can never afford anything better.

Parasound & Adcom amps first to go. SME V tonearm last to go.

agreed... XM service was less than good in my experinece.... some channels sounded good.. but that was less than a handful. overall i was very dissapointed with XM

My Onkyo CD/DVD changer needs to be upgraded, my Sherbourn amp is one of my favorite pieces but I really want to try a Sunfire Cinema grand.

I think my Speakers are here for a long time.

MSALLA

First to go (and soon) Yamaha AVR.
Last would be my sub. I built it and I'm attached.

I love my system, but I can't say I'm overly attached to anything at this point. If a better piece of gear came along at a better price, I'd grab it.

That being said, it would be most difficult to best my Thiel's for the money I paid. It would be easiest to find another CDP or DAC for the money I paid.

Oh, I hate my current stand. That would be first to go, no doubt.

Fireman32

My cd player because it sucks. Last to go would be my speakers.

BaggedLancer

First thing to go, the few monster cables I have....Why? Cause they suck.

Last thing to go, everything else.

Ricardo

Last thing to go: receiver and HT speakers; have had it for 2 years and only changed the subwoofer a year ago. I don't think I will add/replace anything unless something breaks.

First thing to go: I cannot think of anything on my 2 channel that I'd like to swap right now; I am just starting to enjoy the "current version". Need a few months to listen and see if I want to change something.

cfrizz

First thing to go for me would be my receiver for a prepro. Last thing to go would be my amp!

hearingimpared

I didn't think that I would ever have to mention that I will be buried in my speakers I thought that was just a given!

First thing to go would be my sub!
I've had that sub for years as part of my first HT system. I am slowly upgrading my system (got rid of the rca front, surrounds and reciever). I want to replace it with either a PSW1000 or a 10" Velodyne.

Next to go would be my center (replacing with a CSI25 to match the r50s).

I think the last thing I would upgrade would be my R50 fronts. I like the sound for the budget I had.

WilliamM2

I am currently using 4 amps to provide 5 channels of amplication in the living room, and 2 channels in the garage. I would like to save some space by getting a nice 7 channel amp, so the first thing to go will probably be 4 amps.

The last thing to go will be my SDA1C's.

Serendipity

First thing to go: XM tuner. The sound quality was quite bad on some channels.

Last thing to go: Definitive Tech BP10B's.

Shizelbs

First - Cables or XM Tuner

Last - Shanling CDP or the Amazings. I'm really not sure what I can imagine replacing first. Both are going to be around for quite a while.

audiobliss

Disclaimer: I'm judging what would be first/last to go based on how well I'm pleased with it and would like to keep it, not if I'm actually going to upgrade and so really sell it first, just which I'm most dissatisfied with.

First to go here would probably be my Yamaha CDR-HD1300. The only reason I'm keeping it is because I can put records and tapes on CD with it, which is awesome.

Last to go would either be my Rotel RCD-02 or my ASL Wave 8's.

Well, after the ELP gets here, THAT might be the last thing I'd get rid of.

First thing to go: Monster HTS3500 power center... would much rather have a PS Audio PowerPlant Premier

Last thing to go: Probably my amplifier.

irishaz

First thing to go - Yamaha AVR.

Last to go - My SDA CRS's. After UPS destroyed them, I had to put a lot of TLC to get them going again. I'll never get rid of those babies...

danger boy

first thing to go.. my significant other waaaaaaaaaa!

seriously though... i don't really know.. my stuff is so low end.. there really isn't any reason to keep any of it.. :eek:

Bill Ayotte

I'm thinking that I am going to go 2ch. with a sub for my HT rig as of now....Once I get the Sunfire TGI fixed, I am thinking it is going on the chopping block...I am thinking I will put that scratch towards a Krell or bryston integrated...Trying to use minimum space in this small room at the moment....Then comes speakers...Man, my wallet hurts just thinking about it...

VR3

Ahhh

I think everyone is pretty intterchangable in my rig.

Love it all the same.

ohskigod

judging the first thing to go in my theater is tough, but it might be the playe amp for the sub. I think that SVS plus driver I have could take some more juice.

last thing to go would be the LSi's


for 2 channel, I have no clue what would be first, since I got things pretty well balanced out. any component would be on the block if i had to swap something out.

choosing the last to go is a cakewalk though, the AR9's are here to stay.
