The leap from 1979 Rotel RA314 to 1986 Quad 34/405. Many improvements since but this was my single biggest step.

If you can power smoke 2g of Nevilles finest in 5 mins and still function, you're a better man than I! I noticed that Neville is out of retirement and looking to breed a new Sativa

An entertaining clip, Jack, though I'm not sure why you posted it in response to me?
A pair of Mission 744 speakers.
I was stuck with an unsatisfying system of LP12/Ittok, Naim 32.5/hi-cap/160, IBLs and it sounded so lame that I packed it away for a while when the first baby came along and sold off the LP12.
I eventually set it all up again after maybe 2-3 years and splashed out on the Missions just to scratch the itch. It wasn't the Missions that were especially good themselves, but the fundamental change that brought bass and punch excited me again and within a few months to a year or two I had a pair of 135s, 52/Supercap, CDS1/CDPS and SBLs, and now a Nottingham turntable.
If those Missions hadn't fired me up again, I guess there is a chance that I'd be now using an integrated system of some sort. For what they cost they were bloody good, and I'm kicking myself for trying to live with the IBLs for so long and only becoming more and more disheartened.
Those Missions changed everything.

I replaced the interconnects between the transport and DAC of my KW25 cd from the MF supplied cable to ones from Artisan Silver, and was amazed, so amazed I went and replaced all the other cable with Artisan Silver, replacing some very nice Kimber cables, and now my MF M3, KW 25 and PMC Ob1s sound really good, and at a price that was not outrageous. I am very happy whether its Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Mahler or whatever it all sounds so good I just listen to it for hours. And old discs like early Mother of Invention no longer sound at all hard to listen to, everything seems that much easier to make out what they intend it to sound like.Amazing

That's easy to say when you've already got an Acoustic Precision Eikos CD player at the front end.
