Upgrade help needed!

Can you please help me? I'm looking to upgrade my current system and am really stuck as to which piece to upgrade and how much money I need to spend that will make a real difference. My current system consists of Rega Planner 3, RB300 arm, Roksan Chorus black Cartridge, Arcam Alpha 7se CD player, Cyrus 1 amp, and Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3 speakers. I have developed this system over many years and have to admit it sounds absolutely fantastic, but I now want to take it to another level but I don't really know which bit to change that will give me the biggest improvement. Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks

Thats a difficult one TBH. Your vinyl replay system is pretty decent and so is the CD player. The Cyrus Amp is getting a bit long in the tooth but is still a nice little amplifier. You seem to like the sound of the system so I guess your also happy with the speakers which I would have put down as a bit of a weak link.

Small steps are needed to see an improvement, see if you can get hold of a couple of amps to slot into the system and see if you like what they do. I would try an LFD silver intergrated, a Soneteer, something from Naim (I always recommend a 72/140 pre power), something more modern from Cyrus etc. Just different styles and sounds.

It all depends what your looking to improve on.
