Change the p/s on my Hifisonix kx amplifier to dual mono with ripple eater p/s boards and sort out the listening room which is well in need of a tidy.

Change my main source from TT to streaming. Sell off a few hundred records.
Gain some much needed space and save a heap of money by buying a lot less records

Having had untold downtime over the years, what with one thing or the other, I'm looking to enjoy my system to the max throughout 2020 AND beyond.
Not been able to evaluate the SP-10 yet, long storyJust awaiting a Yannis tonearm cable and then I'm gonna dive into that and report back my findings.
In the meantime, it's meant I've actually had some good time listening via my Pioneer PD-91 cdp.
Being addicted to vinyl, I've never actually had any good, critical listening time with the P-91 and at long last I can say it sounds fab !

The general idea is to accept where I've got to (which is way beyond my original intentions when I got back in the saddle in 2016) in the crazy hobby.
And that barring a scratchcard/lotto win I can make NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE to my system with my current financial position, as it would take mid to High four figures to do so.
I also need to sell of the small amount of surplus kit I've got hanging about.
Apart from that it's a year of enjoying what I have and organising the 4 bake-offs a year that I do, oh and buy more music.

Send my SEG off for upgrades to get the most out of it.
Buy some new music.
Drink some whisky while listening to said music.
Probably nothing else in the way of changes.

Why, Andy? You're an integral part of AoS, and AoS isn't *just* a hi-fi forum...
It surprises/amazes me sometimes how some of our regulars (and long-term members) rarely engage in the off-topic, more 'human' areas of the forum, where others get to know more about the PERSON behind the hi-fi system. I've never understood such 'aloofness'.
Therefore, if I may be so bold to suggest, why not make your new year's resolution to engage more in the community side of AoS, or music section, and reduce your discussion of hi-fi?

Like you. I'm about balance and there is more to life than JUST hifi but you've almost gone one extreme to the other - Get back involved fella as captain of the ship
