If you had to start all over again in this day and age


So, with the advent of different technology, sources and platforms these days, if you had to build your home stereo system all over again, what would you purchase to listen to music that brings you satisfaction?

How much of what you have would you keep, change or throw all out and start over again?

Have two systems that have been continuously evolving over many years. They are “lower to middle third” of high end in price. So upgrading any single component/cable, etc would have almost no impact on SQ.  Vinly is better than streaming on both systems. CD and streaming are both excellent - can’t tell them apart.
System 1 has tube preamp, tube phono pre, tube dac, and ss amps, and it is in a larger room.
System 2 has tube integrated and tube phono pre in a smaller room.
Frustrated that there are no obvious upgrades in the offing, but listening to music is sublime.
No desire to start over.
