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!

I haven't seen you state whether you live in a house or apt or condo.  Neighbors?

Permanent residence?  This will severely restrict you system choices.  Unless, of course it really is female vocalists.  I think you'll find as you build a really nice system you WILL play it louder...because you can!

If you are planning on continuing on this journey I would advise find the type of speaker you really like and then get the best of that ilk you can afford.  Then treat the room, then find the proper power amp(s).  Then source components and cabling.  My mantra is build it backwards.

I intentionally left out dedicated power because we don't know your housing situation.
