So some of you have identified my situation.  My speakers, turntable,preamp and amps are all very good.  The system sounds great and is evenly balanced.  My real delima is I have the cash to spend on a real nice upgrade but what would be the best ... 
What to upgrade to?
SME V arm.  The phono stage is a built into the preamp m.  It's a Deja Vu custom pre and the phono section is outstanding.

Chakster,Thanks for your reply.  I have looked at Zu and my amp would work perfectly.  Btw I purposely didn't list my table or speakers because they both are excellent. I just would like to hear other people's take on which made better sense to up... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Ricevs,I have followed F-15's development on the Decware forum and it does seem like everyone has raved about the sound and the quality of the 10" and 15" driver.  Their prices are more than reasonable and worth a strong consideration. 
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
I am sure it has been mentioned but check with Chris at Artisan Fidelity.  He always has options for plinths and fully completed 401's. 
Kudos to Dave at Audio Doctor!

Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!!
I have a few posts on this thread and I wanted to express that I am a Harbeth fanboy and Alan Shaw certainly knows how to create demand for his speakers.    I will be anxious to hear how the new XD line compares to the anniversary line.
