@ghdprentice has given some good advice. Research, research research Upgrade the weakest link.
Another upgrade is TUBED amp & preamp. But you will need different speakers. I have had SS equipment for 50 yrs and tried tube amp just to see what all the fuss was about. Bottom line, a VTA Bob Latino ST-70 replaced a 250wpc CJ SS amp. Yes, more maintenance with tubes because they don’t last forever. But that’s it. Small price to pay for the sound received. BTW I used it with a SS CJ PFR preamp for yrs and it sounded great. Just a thought
You have a decent system now. But there is more. The very fact that you’re asking the question means you are curious to what more there is. Lots. Enjoy the journey. But enjoy the music even more. They should go hand in hand.
