Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates
My personal experience...About ten years ago I bought a used Pass X-1 pre-amp. It replaced a Linn Kudos.The change was transformational!Soundstage, air, so uncongested....it was like I'd been listening to music through a megaphone.So if it was me,... 
Looking for seperates under $5k~
Used Pass Labs..250.5 amp and an X-1 preamp...hard to beat. 
Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2?

$1600. preamp
