Help wanted spending money and improving my system.


I’ve got the upgrade itch and would like feedback on what piece should be replaced or what should be added.  If this system was yours, which piece would you replace and what would you buy as a replacement or what would you add to improve the sound/experience.  I’m not considering replacing my cabling at this point in time.  Please, 1 item only.  So, what would you add or replace?  I’m very happy with what I’ve put together, but I’ve got the itch, and scratching is not enough!!  Current system:  Carver Crimson amp, Primaluna Dialogue preamp, Schiit Yggdrasil D/A, Schiit Lokius equalizer, Jays CD player Mk III, Oppo 103 (for SACD only) Thorens TD145 with Ortofon 2M Bronze, M&K V75 sub, Klipsch R-15 sub, Roon Nucleus, Mac mini server (for iTunes) and Goldenear Triton References, home made bass traps.

Per the above and in consideration of what was mentioned above:
1. Power: dedicated 20amp line to your listening room terminating in a non ferromagnetic audiophile outlet. 2. Power regeneration or conditioning: PS Audio PowerPlants or Audioquest Niagara conditioners. There are others. 3. Better cabling, interconnects, and digital cables. 4. Fuses. 5. Additional EMI mitigation: Synergistic Research products and Greenwave EMI filters. Inside components you can use Dyanmat or Noico. 6. Component and or speaker couplers or decouplers/isolators: Isoacoustics and regular all rubber hockey pucks (from eBay)! 7. Digital tweaks like switches, Ethernet cables, USB filters, clocks. You wanted to spend money? You came to the right place!
