How would you spend my next $5K?


How would you spend my next $5K?

Here is my current wishlist and system.  Where would you put you/my next $5K? I find nothing deficient in my system.  However, in my experience the right upgrade or tweak can bring surprising.  

What would you do?

1. Amp - Upgrade current Transparent Reference PC 

2. Upgrade legacy Syn Res Element Copper RCA

3. Upgrade Wireworld Gold and Platinum BNCs to WAVE BNCs (or just one pair?)

4. Tannoy Super tweeters

5. External LPS for M Scaler (DAVE SJ LPSU rocks!)

6. Second sub

7. Decent starter analog rig.  

This is my current setup-

Tannoy Kensingtons 

Single REL S/812 

Pathos InPol Heritage MK2 integrated

Innuos Zenith MK3 - PhNET - PhUSB

CHORD DAVE/HMS

San Jacobs DC4ARC LPSU

Transparent PowerIsolator

OPTO Galvanic isolation 

Mostly Transparent cables

Second sub was the first thing that popped into my head.  Then I read the responses and saw that I was not the only one.  I added two subs to my setup and it added something really special to the soundstage and imaging.  I don’t know if you can pull your speakers out into the room more but that might bring some improvements as well and won’t cost you anything.  If you’re interested in room treatments it’s worth it to buy a mic and use something like REW to see what’s going on in your listening space and what you need to address.

I like your idea for super-tweeters. You want as much "atmosphere" (illusion of space) in your smallish room as possible. Just make sure you can return if they don't work. Is Townshend still making these?

Room acoustics for sure...  Will make a BIG and long lasting difference to everything you have, and will buy from now on...
