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.

Purchasing "just because?"

 Long term-Get rid of your LP  setup, start over. Get a proper phonostage while you're at it.

The 2 innermost tubes in the PL will make the most noticeable sonic difference. The rectifiers also, are claimed to make a sonic "improvement." YMMV
"step1 you need a better preamp

Interesting when DEALERS who don't carry said particular brand(otherwise gets praise from end users and mags)needs to get replaced. Pathetic and telling
