A couple years ago I took the step from a consumer-grade system to (very) low-end hi-fi. I've really enjoyed the improvement, and am looking to start a slow upgrade process. Here is my current setup:
NAD C320BEE Integrated Amp
NAD PP1 Phono Preamp
NAD 521i CD Player
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 Speakers
Hsu Research STF-1 Subwoofer
Denon Turntable (older model, plays great)
Grado Red Cartridge
Speaker wire from ascend acoustics (

generic interconnects
Here's what I'm considering as a next upgrade:
Green Mountain Europa Speakers
Jolida 301A or 1701A Hybrid Integrated Amp
Jolida 102B or 202A Tube Integrated Amp
Bellari VP129 Tube phono preamp
Parasound P/HP-850 Integrated Amp
I think I'll be spending up to $1000 over the next year for upgrades. What would *you* do?
Thanks!
EDIT - Obviously, I'm not considering *all* of those!
