where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system

Looking for help/opinions on where to best spend upgrade dollars in my system and recommendations.

Here's my current set up:

Musical Fidelity A300CR dual mono power amp

Musical Fidelity A3.2CR dual mono preamp

Musical Fidelity A5 CD Player

Kyocera T910 digital tuner

VPI Aries Scout with Dynavector MC 2x20 cart

Klipsch Cornwall II speakers

Also using Monster Cable Z2 Reference speaker cable, Cardas micro-twin phono cable, Van Den Hul D102MKIII cable for CD, and KimberKable PBJ for the rest

Lastly, using Furman Elite 15DMi line filter/power conditioner

Look forward to hearing ideas, thanks

Room treatment, room treatment, room treatment.
Cover all 1st reflection points of ceiling, front wall, side walls, rear wall.
I'm very happy with Primacoustic panels, purchased from Sweetwater Sound. Great product and service. Biggest bang/buck by far.
Also very happy with Anticables cables and ICs. Will soon be ordering their power cords.

if I wanted to get one power cable at a time as I could afford them, which component would I replace the power cord in first?

+1 for Tom Carr.

Check out the HFT's offered by Synergistic Research.

The HFT's are NOT subtle. Also, be sure to check out SR's Blue fuses ... and then treat all of your connections with Tim Mrock's Total Contact. Here's where to order:

My money would be on room treatments, easy. 1-2k of very wise investment.
