So what do I start saving for now???
As title states, where do I go from here?
My system, other than source, is now 100% NVA. I'm happy with the A80s/A60 bi-amplification, interconnects are all TIS, speaker cables all LS6 feeding the Cube 1s. I realise that I can go for the Statement amps but I'm pretty much "boxed out" as it is so that leaves the speakers. I don't want to go powered so what is the next stage in the Cube / Cubix development and at what cost? My Cube 1s are bi-amped at the moment. Cheers.

Get a BMU. If you've got crappy mains the effect will be startling. If not the effect will be a little less than startling. As an upgrade at circa £500 it' a no-brainer. Really.

I should have said that I already use a BMU fed from a mains regenerator. Cheers.

Ahh yes, but there's always more to be had! (cost permitting).

Cubix (two box standard). Long delivery time as cases have to be ordered.

OR cheaper LS6 to TSCS

Hi Zebbo
Having just returned it to the Doc after a lengthy trial I'd say you have to try the TSCS, I was amazed at the difference between that and LS6 in my system. Better bass, treble and all the usual hi-fi stuff but more importantly much more musical and much more believable. Has to be heard - I feel a bit flat now it has gone! My order will be going in shortly once the cashflow builds up after the Christmas/New Year break.

PS - I'm listening to the Phono 2 now, can you given me any hints as to how the Phono 3 betters it please?
