Best Stereo Upgrade Value


A question for you audiophiles...

What "upgrade/change" has singularly given you the biggest (not incremental) improvement to your stereo system?  Upgraded amp, pre-amp, tubes, room correction unit, subs, connectors, cables, speakers, streamer, stylus, speaker placement, acoustic panels, etc.?

It always depends on goals. Set percentages can be a guide but those percentages can shift wildly depending on overall budget. I’m presently (waiting for new speakers) listening to speakers that represent 5% of my total system. Many might listen in my room now and wonder why new speakers? LOL, they might be correct.

I'd probably agree with every single post on this thread dependent on exact time and situation of system at that time, this means weak or squeaky link gets the grease.

Speakers first, mono amplifiers second, pre amplifiers third.  All other changes are like adding sprinkles to an ice cream cone, nice but could live without.
