Trip to Japan first, then I’ll se what I need there. Mostly records. I like'em with Japanese writing up'n'down and I like ones with OBI.

Hopefully, I can figure out why my system is plagued by sibilance and do a better job of component matching. 

Funny you mention GIK Acoustics....    I have been looking at their site and think that would be a good investment at this point.   

Buying a whole new audio system ,

I've had double low Sistrum racks from Live Vibe for about 5 years and Sistrums under some speakers.  Love the look and especially the sound.  I have RTS couplers clamping each component to it's platform--great sound upgrade and it eliminates the possibility of tipping or knocking a component clean off the points. They even look like they belong on a Sistrum.  Your can even put them in the middle between the speakers as long as they are a little behind the backs of them with NO sound penalties.  Got a great deal on some used Sistrums and RT couplers--thanks Al J.  You'll love what the Live Vibe stuff does for the sound!
