System upgrade suggestions

Hello,

Looking to upgrade my modest system that is in a small room(10x12).

I have the following:

Tecnodec w/ RB300
Clearaudio Arum beta S
Levinson ML 1
Michell Dino Phono stage
Quad 405 amp-on long term loan from friend
Linn Tukans
Synergistic Alpha Speaker/ICs
Wadia 23 as transport
Wadia 64.4 DAC
Wadia Glass cable
Raw AC

Suggestions on upgrading my system? The turntable/arm/cart is new, just breaking them in. I like the wadia going straight into the amp and using the digital volume control. Havent tried it into the ML 1.

There aren't many shops that I can demo gear here.

Thanks for your help.

From a fellow Tecnodec and Dino owner: The Dino works much better with MC cartridges than with MM cartridges in my experiences (also see Michal Fremers comments in his Stereophile review). I you ever get bored and want to experiment. I ran a Denon Dl103 (sadly enough now dead - my fault) and a Kontrapunkt A on the Tecnodec/Dino with great results.
Oh and for the RB 300: A better counterweight (Expressimo Heavyweight or Michell Tecnoweight) might get you some worthwile improvements for little extra cost.
