OK - Now What…?

If you are "absolutely thrilled with the sound of this system", there is only one question you need to answer.  Will the tiny improvement in sound, that buying new equipment MIGHT give you, be completely drowned out by the sound of your money flying out the window????   I have personally dolled out thousands of dollars on the promise that I would hear the difference, only to end up with yet another upgrade to my system, but no discernable improvement to the sound.   

have you considered upgrading your DAC?  Don’t get me wrong, the Aurender has a nice reputation, but is it in the same league as your amp and speakers?  Purely on the basis of $, maybe not.  A good friend of mine has dCS Bartok, and it’s extraordinary. I also agree with others about getting back into vinyl.  Over 90% of my listening is vinyl. (Of course, i’ve also spent 15:1 on vinyl v digital.)

As long as free advice is being given out, as soon as your done with the Sea Bass ala Ben, check out Darwin speaker cables. I think they still have the lowest capacitance in the market at 7.2pf/ft, which accounts for their speed and openness. 

They don't believe in the myth that cables are tone controls and should just get the heck out of the way of the music. Practically everything else out there is just a variation on a theme. 

There are vendors at audio shows that only use their cables so their stuff sounds good. Check out their design philosophy at their site and there's really no mumbo-jumbo, just how they see things and a peek into how they build them.

All the best,

Hello,
Where are the two JL Audio F110 subwoofers?  I know a lot of people ask “How can that improve my speakers that go all the way down to 20hz?  I swear it can. Hook them up and set the crossover at 60hz. You can get wireless kits for better placement. I just received 2 of these and the JL Audio CR1 subwoofer crossover. 
It will blow your mind. It should for $10k. If you want to try out some subwoofers and you live near the Chicagoland area this store lets you try before you buy. https://holmaudio.com/
Also, For the fun of it try the Puritan PSM156 power conditioner. You can compare it to what you have. Then you can sell what you have because you will buy this power conditioner. Maybe start collecting albums again. When you get to 50 or 100 you can do some TT research. I’m going Linn Axis with a Dynavector 10x MC cart until I get my VPI Prime 21.
