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!

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. 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. |
op good advice from @mesch - learn more, see the big picture, before spending the big money we who are experienced at this hobby tend to gravitate towards speakers as the key improvement (assuming proper placement and room, as always) in one's equipment choices, but that being said, it would be wise for you to share your source equipment in use currently - after all it is a chain, so garbage in leads to garbage out as a noobie at this, we should not make common assumptions w r t what you are doing, what you have other than the speakers and amp you mentioned

I would keep the Rega deck and cartridge. I would sell your speakers and integrated amp and go with the following: one of the following integrated amps: speaker and interconnect cables from (I really like Mogami cables): I really like these power cables (after trying more expensive ones and don't like how stiff they are): maybe replace the ps audio phono preamp with: I have a very similar setup and love the sound. Check my system details page if you are interested. To sum up my recommendations:
