No Wonder You Spend So Much Money On Stereo Equipment
I never spent anywhere near as much for blow as I do for audio gear!   
Speakers or Turntable upgrade
That's really difficult to say, for me, anyway. Are there any particular speakers you have in mind to audition? Just wanted to say that I've got a Clearaudio Charisma II MM cartridge in my Technics 1200G TT and it is superb....

@gera - try keith@herronaudio.com. I've got a phono preamp and line stage preamp from Herron Audio. He's pretty much retired, I think, but he's still happy to answer questions about his gear.
