A rookie with 10K, seeking advise


I'm new to the HiFi world. I listen to a lot of female vocal and classical music. I like both digital and vinyl. I am using a pair of Wharfedale Linton heritage and PS Audio Stellar Strata. 

I know this is too broad a question, but with 10K budget, where can I wisely spend my money? I don't mind tubes and I don't mind used either.

Any advise is greatly appreciated!

At a glance I would suggest you keep the Strata and sell the Terminator.  Assuming you also keep the Lintons you could then seriously upgrade your turntable/cartridge/phono preamp.  Or you could also sell the Lintons and get something like the Eminent Technologies LFT8c, they are a much better value then the Magnepans, and still upgrade some areas of your vinyl setup, get some good cables and an equipment stand to boot.

The OP shouldn't listen to david_ten! You'd have to be nuts to spend thousands on power cords and ac conditioners! 

There’s a pair of DeVore Gibbon Super Nine’s for sale here on Agon for $7800. Those would be a major upgrade over the Linton’s. Seller is in Atlanta.

sell everything you have

buy:

Yamaha integrated amp 701 / 801

Polk speakers Lsim705 (used) or R700 (new)

Blue Jeans wire

The rest in a Vanguard mutual fund.

Cheers
