System Upgrades


Hi All, Wasn't sure where to post this as I didn't see a section called system but here goes.

I am looking to improve my system. Components are listed below. What would you improve first (excluding SPDIF converter and speakers)

Linn LP12/Ittok/Benz micro Glider
Dennon cd transport-M2 HiFace-generic USB cable
Burson 160D DAC-Pre
Arargon 4004 MkII
Audio Research SP8 Pre

Thanks

Replace all your stock cables, buy a new rack and treat your room. Spend $100 on new music and have a nice dinner at home with someone special.
Yes I know it's a loaded question but not totally off the mark.
I deign and build loudspeakers. I currently use a hybrid open baffle and since it is not a commercially available speaker I know you won't be able to comment on the speaker. Now I DO know that my pre and Amp are late 1980's and 1990's vintage and I was looking for a "whoa they've come a long way since then" or "It's still great equipment don't bother" I hope this gives some insight as to why i asked the way I did.
I wouldn't take any advice from Warrenh. He doesn't like me. In a different post, he was asking for advice on how to get the best sound from his iPod. When he told everyone that all of his music is stolen I posted the following:

"Warrenh (OP),

This is how you can get the best sound from your ipod. First, get a tape recorder and set it to record. Second, take your ipod full of stolen music and shove it right up your ass. Third, post a link to the only recording that you now have that's not stolen so we can all have a good laugh."

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't take any advice from someone like that.
