How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!

I really love my stereo currently. I keep thinking I should be looking for the next piece to upgrade - phono stage, stereo subs, etc., but honestly not sure what to change or why I’d potentially spend more money to achieve a result that’s lesser or equal to my current sound quality. I sorta feel clueless as to how to proceed without screwing up what I have. I know it can get better but honestly I’m at a place when I just don’t know how it can. Hmmmmm.... not a bad problem I guess. Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.

If it sounds amazing, then spend your time enjoying music.

My upgrades in the last 18 months included a new DAC/power supply, interconnects and new speakers. I consider them 'end game' items for me, and will be unlikely to replace them.

Have since embarked on a journey of tweaks and their effect on sound. Some turned out to be excellent, some good, some uncertain.

My system is sounding fabulous, and is exactly what I was hoping for.

True.
"Then you never know what you are missing."
And isn't that a contradiction? Not using just 'any old cord.'
I'm very careful to use the cord supplied

Some additions are illogical.
The 0.75% should not make a noticeable difference. But it does.

They don’t need to be overly expensive either. Mine were $230.
I’m sure there are very reasonably priced used power cords around.
