Made a lot of changes this year...
Misc:
Installed 51 feet with ceramic balls in them 
Installed 5 Oyaide Tunami Power cords 

Digital:
Replaced an AQ cinnamon digital cable for VH Audio silver 
Replaced a Parasound Zdac for Audio Alchemy's latest
Replaced a Pioneer stable platter with a Cambridge transport

Analog:
Replaced a cardas phono cable with a furutech
Switched out a Denon DLs1 cartridge for a Clearaudio concept MC
Installed a VPI Analog Drive System

Removed all vacuum tubes from my system:
Replaced a Sonic Frontiers Phono amp with Audio Alchemy's latest
Replaced a 6550 SET Jeff Korneff power amp with Valvet mono blocks
Replaced a melos preamp with the Audio Alchemy preamp/dac 

All of the above changes improved the system dramatically with the single largest improvement being the SE solid state Valvet mono blocks. These are sweet amps!
