Linn system, 30 years old - what would you upgrade first?




I recently inherited a trove of additional LPs (mostly jazz) and have seriously ramped up how much I've been listening to my fairly modest system:

Linn LP12 with Ittok LVII and Madrigal Carnegie One cartridge (MC)
Linn LK1 Preamp
British Fidelity P170 Amp
Celestion SL600 speakers

FWIW, the above set-up still sounds pretty decent to me. (Way back when, I did enjoy several years of swapping in various higher end bits, but in the end decided the more modest set-up was plenty good enough.)

Nevertheless, 30 years down the road and I can't help wondering about technology advances and likely listening improvements to my system from a new... something.

I'm certain everything could be improved, but am most interested in suggestions for what you'd upgrade first... speakers? preamp? amp? TT? cartridge? Budget-wise, it would be great to stay under $3k. Thanks for any thoughts.
