A rookie with 10K, seeking advise

Go digital. Bluenode server. Denafrip DAC, preamp, amp, and 2 good speakers. You are done. You will get best sound for the money. You can choose tube integrated also, like doge, or primaluna integrated. As simple as that, you will have 90% nirvana. For another 5% yo need to get to 50K budget. 

The 1st thing I would do is to purchase the Robert Harley book 'Complete Guide to High End Audio'. Read chapters concerning choosing a system, allocation of funds, how to become a better listener, system setup and room acoustics prior to those dealing with components. 

Think through where you see your system going regarding digital vs. vinyl source. You may wish to improve one source at a time. With digital you have access to a vast store of music at much less cost than vinyl. 

Think through your take on how your existing system is playing into your room to better identify what improvements you wish to make.

Ask yourself what funds over the 10K  you now have you might be willing to spend on your system over the next couple years. Allows direction on expenditure.

Well, all I have for now. Hope to hear back on your journey. Good luck.

I haven't seen you state whether you live in a house or apt or condo.  Neighbors?

Permanent residence?  This will severely restrict you system choices.  Unless, of course it really is female vocalists.  I think you'll find as you build a really nice system you WILL play it louder...because you can!

If you are planning on continuing on this journey I would advise find the type of speaker you really like and then get the best of that ilk you can afford.  Then treat the room, then find the proper power amp(s).  Then source components and cabling.  My mantra is build it backwards.

I intentionally left out dedicated power because we don't know your housing situation.

The problem with asking a wide open question you will get a wide open set of answers that won’t make your purchase any easier.

There’s a benefit of better power cords/cables, but for your system, $125 power cord will get you a bigger benefit than you think. 
There are many ways to go with your system but to get better sound quality, I would keep the strata and dac and replace everything else. Nobody can tell you to go the tube amp route without knowing which speaker you have, it would be foolish. If your speakers are on the inefficient side of things, you either need to go with solid state or a very expensive high powered tube amp. 
There are many speakers out in the market used in your price range that sound excellent: Revel studios 2, Revel F228be, Usher BE10, Totem, and others.

Try to attend a big audio show or visit audio stores across the country  that will have a lot different systems to listen too before making a decision.
