What's my next upgrade? Please advise.

Hi Folks. I'm wondering what my next upgrade or equipment switch should be and would value any advice or tips. I'm pretty happy with the sound I'm getting but I guess I always have the upgrade bug. My system is as follows:

Audio Physic Virgo Speakers (very latest edition - single wire/not biwire).
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Preamp (with upgraded Siemens tubes)
Blue Circle BC2 Hybrid Monoblocks (75wpc Class A)
YBA CD1 Alpha Blue Laser CD Player
PS Audio PowerPlant 300 (giving me problems so not using it just now)
3 Shunyata Sidewinder power cords (Amps & Preamp)
2 YBA Diamond power cords for CD player and CD power suppy.
Stealth Triple Ribbon silver speaker cable (8')
Homegrown Audio Silver Lace 1meter inteconnect.
Harmonic Audio TruthLink 1meter interconnect.

Room size is about 18x14

Many thanks,
John.

Just wanted to mention that I upgraded one of my cables so far - I swapped in Nordost SPM Reference for my Homegrown Audio Silver Lace, between preamp and power amps. I can't believe the difference! All cable upgrades up till now have been subtle at best. This cable has elevated my system to new highs - the music's better in every way. I'm a cable convert now. I just have to get the scratch for the next cable upgrades :-) Thanks,
John.

yes, nice system

I'd consider the cable and also look at the EVS Millenium II Dac, a real jaw dropping experience, I'm rediscovering my cd collection these days.

Guys - I got another Nordost SPM interconnect and a pair of FIM Gold Speaker Cables. Now I'm all set - the system sounds awesome! Thanks for the advice. I was so surprised by the difference the cable upgrades made. Glare and harshness I didn't even know was there is now gone, and the bass is now even more rock solid. I can't belive the combination of transparency and detail, and yet the sound is so unfatiguing.
