Upgrade CD player or get into LPs? Suggestions

Folks

I've now enjoyed my system for about 2 years now, and starting to think about upgrading or adding to it. Any thoughts of what I should do to increase my listening experience?

Should I upgrade my CDP? Or, change my entire experience by getting into LPs? If upgrade, any CDP suggestions that is below $5k (new)? If LPs, what are the beginners+ TT to consider (one added plus is that my current preamp handles phono)?? Thoughts?

Thanks,

Current system:
Cary 303/100 CD player
Audible Illusions 3A preamp
BAT 75SE
Dali 800 MKII
Synergistic Research Galileo speaker cells
BASIK strings I/Cs

Hi Broken.

Can see you are itching for an upgrade, having read your other thread! ;) your CD is very well regarded...$5K gets you quite a lot in good digital...Esoteric, DCS on the more linear side...Audio Note, Accustic Arts?...i am speaking second-hand, though i know you were speaking of new. Brand new, i think Weiss has good stuff...very clean, not to my taste but certainly very good...definitely not Cary-style of presentation.

No thoughts on LP as i do not do vinyl though i love it...too much brain damage for me. $5K buys a LOT of quality vinyl equipment. Enjoy!
