I'm in the process of trying to determine my next purchase. My options are change music servers, DAC, or simple do nothing. I currently use an Antipodes S30/S40/S60 combination...I'm considering the Antipodes K50. My current DAC is a Chord Dave...my concern with changing DACs is simply cost. I don't want to spend $20K plus on a DAC.

Next purchase would be, in theory, to address the information bottleneck represented by the cable between pre-amp and amp. I ran out of dollars back when all that system building transpired and then recently made the mistake of trying something upscale when a friend said “Here. Tell me what you think of this?”. Shouldn’t have done that - retirement income can accommodate the odd record purchase or three, but several hundred dollar cable upgrades are best left to pipe dream status. Woe is me ;-)

In this moment I do not want to buy anything, just want to sell the excess. ;) However, if the thread tittle was "What would you will you like to borrow to listen next" I could list a few items ...

Just purchased a PTP solid 9 from Peter with a Scroder CB9 arm, speed controller and all the upgrades available. First major turntable for me (within my budget).

Thank you Marty. I’m looking for a light with an incandescent bulb and I can’t have a large base Because of lack of space on my rack’s top shelf. I will probably have a clamp or wall mount.

Purchased a spare pair of 15" JBL 2216Nd drivers. Might update my Array 1400's or use them under my SAMHF heads. Sounds like 1/4 rounds and MDF for me.

Both of these are continued extreme finetuning around the new fundamentals which have fallen into place in the last 2-3 years -- speakers, amplification, isolation and cabling...and a slight detour for headphone system which has now pretty much concluded:

-Upgrading grounding as, by all accounts, Tripoint & Entreq have come a far, far way in the last 10 years.

-Upgrading to extreme bass for that effortless sense of venue, hall space and overall foundation: Funk Audio 18.2 (dual-opposing 18" with 4000 watt amp), possibly a pair.
