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

Another vote for a second sub in a stereo sub configuration. This approach will greatly expand soundstage and increase retrieval of sonic details.

Definitely go with the starter analog rig. Vinyl rules. I have a Technics 1210GR table and an AT-art9xi moving coil cartridge ($3,500 all-in), and my sound/enjoyment is 9/10. Then go to rateyourmusic, look up great artists, and start buying vinyl!!

Consider denoting it to the needed people.  I don't think you need to add / change anything further to your system.  Just enjoy the music.

Looks like you have a very nice setup, I’m a little behind you but, have similar equipment and just popped for a good DAC that’s on the way.  I don’t know how you can best spend the next 5k but, I have a question if you don’t mind. I have same front end Innuos but missing the PHNET. Does yours drastically improve the SQ in your system or is it negligible? In other words, would you do it all over again knowing how much better it is?
