What to upgrade next?

If you wanted to make an upgrade which would be the next most noticeable improvement. 

1: Power Cord (currently just stock cord)
2: Power tubes (currently JJ's 2 each 300b)
3: Cartridge (currently running Denon 103R)

My system consists of Audion Silver Night Special Edition 300b integrated, Acoustic Solid TT, Zu Soul Superfly speakers with Mission cables.

I would get better tubes.  Most manufacturers include the JJ tubes because they are inexpensive.

What improvements are you looking for from the upgrade?  What phono stage are you using?  I build components and I use the JJ EZ34 in my power supply. It sounded better than any tube we tried in that position so don't just say that the JJ's won't provide the best sound.


Some good suggestions here but I would look into a phono stage.

Happy Listening.

What I am looking for is better separation and clarity and dynamics from the upgrade.
Yeah I forgot to mention the phono stage I am using is a PS Audio Nuwave. You just never know where the weak link is until you try something else. 
If i do decide to replace the tubes, I am pretty sure I will go with the KR300b HP. It's supposed to be their high performance tube made with top notch parts.

I vote for tubes as well heres a good review of most of the new manufactures tubes. I like the gold lions as well run them in my 300b Finale audio F3008.
