A rookie with 10K, seeking advise


I'm new to the HiFi world. I listen to a lot of female vocal and classical music. I like both digital and vinyl. I am using a pair of Wharfedale Linton heritage and PS Audio Stellar Strata. 

I know this is too broad a question, but with 10K budget, where can I wisely spend my money? I don't mind tubes and I don't mind used either.

Any advise is greatly appreciated!

You have a pretty nice starter system, so what's your endgame?  Will you go past $10K.  I started like you then got the bug and went nuts.  You may also.  So with $10K, based on my own personal experience, "fix" one part of your system and be patient.  You can get a nice Luxman integrated, or a great pair of used Focal or Magico speakers, for $10K (for example) or less.  Don't pay for an integrated DAC.  You have one, and in the future you can get a nice standalone.  I found a great DAC makes a huge difference.  I have HOLO audio's best and it's amazing.  I would not pay huge dollars for cables.  Copper for the most part is copper, and I'm an engineer.  Good luck, have fun.
