Upgrade Quandry - Who's on first?


Here is the current system:

Snell Type C V Speakers
NAD 2700 thx times 2 Amplifiers
Rotel RCC 1055 CD Player
Basis 1400 Turntable
Simaudio Moon LP 3 phono pre
Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 tube Tube preamp
Straightwire virtuoso Speaker cable
Sumiko Bluepoint Special No 2 Cartridge
Signal Cable Magic Power Power Cord Tweak
APC Power Conditioner H 10 Tweak
DIY BASS TRAPS/PANELS

What is next for a $1200 upgrade? I was thinking a new cdp or perhaps more powerful amps. As to the cdp the Sony XA 5400 es has been highly touted in some circles.
CLueless on the amp situation but I know the solid state is good for me and that with my current bi amped setup I am only geting 150 watts per channel and the Snells can take a lot more than that.
I listen to cds 70% ,classic rock, bluegrass some classical and jazz to.
Suggestions?

Look into a TransFi Terminator linear tracking air bearing arm. There are some reviews here on agon and if you google you will find their website. I moved from a fully upgraded RB 300 (incognito wire, michell counter weight) about a year ago and have been completely satisfied. It is out of the box but maybe of interest to you.
