How would you spend my next $5K?


How would you spend my next $5K?

Here is my current wishlist and system.  Where would you put you/my next $5K? I find nothing deficient in my system.  However, in my experience the right upgrade or tweak can bring surprising.  

What would you do?

1. Amp - Upgrade current Transparent Reference PC 

2. Upgrade legacy Syn Res Element Copper RCA

3. Upgrade Wireworld Gold and Platinum BNCs to WAVE BNCs (or just one pair?)

4. Tannoy Super tweeters

5. External LPS for M Scaler (DAVE SJ LPSU rocks!)

6. Second sub

7. Decent starter analog rig.  

This is my current setup-

Tannoy Kensingtons 

Single REL S/812 

Pathos InPol Heritage MK2 integrated

Innuos Zenith MK3 - PhNET - PhUSB

CHORD DAVE/HMS

San Jacobs DC4ARC LPSU

Transparent PowerIsolator

OPTO Galvanic isolation 

Mostly Transparent cables

Helpful comments, thanks.  I could say that  the Kensingtons and S/812 don’t fully pressurize my 15’x21’ space, though I’ve made some recent improvement in dialing  in the sub.  
 

Interestingly, my small bedroom (10’x12’) NAIM UNITI ATOM/Tannnoy MINI AUTOGRAPH/REL T5X fills the room very nicely with a good visceral feel.  Perhaps small room size and near-field listening helps this.  

@hysteve Thanks.  I got a both USB and NET used, elsewise would not likely have sprung.  NET seemed to make a bigger difference although that may be because I got it first.  Deeper blacks. A more “settled/relaxed sound” and somehow a better grip on bass though I don’t know why that happened.  Innuos says  NET+USB get Zenith MK3 to 90% of previous pre Next Gen Stmt.  

Thanks for the thoughtful input.  Here are the responses to how you would spend my next $5K.  Seems a clear consensus between room acoustics and second sub.  Special kudos to those who said they would spend my $5K on their system. lol 

Second sub - 11

Room acoustics- 14

Super tweeter- 2

Cables/power - 3
