I looked at the pictures of your setup.
You have very nice gear, but I see zero room treatment in your photos.
I wouldn’t spend a single penny on cable elevators, or any tweak of that sort, until my room acoustics were completely figured out.
The gear you currently have is already being severely limited by the acoustics of an untreated space.
A thousand dollars of used gear in a well-treated room would yield you much better results, in my opinion.
edit: I just saw your comment that said you’re waiting on a shipment for room treatment. I think that will be the upgrade that will make you the happiest of all!
