Thanks for your thoughts! I'm a pro woodworker and have actually built copies of Ton-Trager stands but preferred the bass solidity that my Sound Anchors give me. I also built a custom walnut hifi rack for all of my components as well. The Rega Isis Valve was always on my list but I've only ever seen one come up used once in my search over several years. That being said, I love the presentation of the Isis as now I have a VERY close digital and analog front end where before it was lopsided. I have speaker wire that is silver so that is most definitely my next step before doing anything crazy, although your advice on interconnects is very appreciated. I will say one of the bigger changes I made to my system was adding a Shunyata Denali with NR cables to my components as that gave me total blacks, increased instrument separation, and an overall more introspective presentation. What were your monitors before you upgraded to the 30.2 XD?
