Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage

Is there such a thing as keeping the costs relative to one another? I'm sure there will be some variance because not all equally priced Turntables are of same quality as each other and the same will go for comparatively priced Phono Stages, but generally speaking I'm curious about this. 

I just ordered an EAT C MAjor and I am looking for a comparatively equal quality Phono Stage. Thoughts?

I decided that the first upgrade will be the phono stage because I got a deal on a not very used Black Ice Audio F159 with upgrades. Should be happy with that for a long time as it should be good enough to realize upgrades in my turntable and hopefully even speaker upgrades. Thanks again to the good advice.

@ Tablejockey, The "Upgrade" was just improved resistors.

I should have just said upgrade. I was thinking that I would probably change to different tubes so I said upgrades.
