$5k Upgrade

I have a clearaudio champion, zyx airy3, and k&k maxxed out phono. Thinking of upgrading and considering well tempered amadeus gta or versalex, new cartridge, or even new phono like herron vtph2. I don't necessarily think there is anything lacking, just chasing improvements.

That's a kickass system man!! I don't have nearly that kind equipment but I feel like you may be moving sideways - but have never heard the champion , it may be on par with the wt. maybe experiment w diff carts?

Thanks PHD, that's what I am trying to figure out and it is a challenge. I have no real issues with my system. I am fairly certain that if I moved up the Shindo pre-amp chain that it would yield improvements and the upper models have MM/MC phono included, so that's an option.

Upgrading the preamp can often yield superior results, but I don't think that can happen for $5K. Have you considered a good power conditioner like the Audience?
