As others have said avoid spending money needlessly. You say you are happy with the way it sounds. If you think it could be better start with speaker positioning experiments. Each room is different and If you get that right it will save you lots of money.
Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame?
I have a perfectly adequate hodgepodge of cables.
Basically a dog from each town.
Kimber 8T speaker cables
Mismatched length Transparent Audio I/Cs. DAC to Integrated
Basic Shunyata Ethernet cable. DAC to Streamer
Cable company Ethernet lines from Router to Streamer-Yes the ones from Comcast, Cox, Infinity etc-Amir says they are lovely BTW.
GR Research Power Cable + Assorted Pangea A9s
Some Chinese Fiber from TV to DAC.
StraightWire Digital- DVD to DAC
The only thing I have two of are the Pangea Power Cables!
Believe it or not I am pretty happy with the sound overall.
I use SolidSteel Tables and Dynaudio Stands + assorted room treatments.
Gear list just so you have a complete picture:
Pass Labs INT25
John "Fritz" Heilor Carerra 7 BE standmount Speakers
REL 5Ti Subwoofer
Innuos Zen Mk 3 Streamer/Burner/Storer
ANK 4.1x DAC
Balanced Power Transformer
Uptone Audio EtherRegen
If I avoid going the "Cable Envy" route I would instead buy 3 more subs
to have an array
What say ye???
Anyone with a system analysis ??

Coupla points: Swarm was developed to provide even, not necessarily good, bass. Cables, along with everything else contribute the system sound. Change is not necessarily always positive. See ieLogical CableSnakeOil for reasons why.
