If still at entry level turntable would a new amp make much difference?


I have been researching amplifiers online for months now.But truth is, it would make no sense to upgrade my amp if am still running an entry level turntable, correct?I think it would probably just leave me wanting the next upgrade (the table) because the improvements might not be much.I do still listen to the other discs but my now ancient modded Music Hall 25 is still working fine and sounds decent.I am mostly listening to vinyl though.

I purchased some speakers here last year and they have dips to 4 ohms but are 8 ohm rated.So have wanted to try a new amp due to my existing one not having the cleanest 4 ohm signal according to the old review.
(Onkyo A-9555)  Any insight appreciated.

I saw a Musical Fidelity M6si for sale and a friend said for that kind of money, you want something next level and that isn't it.  But it looks nice.  What do you think "next level" means? (He is a tube guy)

If you want a killer amp for your Nestorovic's there is a Perreaux 2150B right now on EBAY for $450 + $80 shipping. Auction ending in 2 + days - and no bids yet! I bought one to use with my restored DQ10's. 200wpc/8ohms, 400wpc/4ohms. Clipping at 300+ and 500+ watts, respectively! Sound quality equal to any uber-expensive amp!
Get a better phono cartridge! It all starts at the source! I recommend a low-output mc type (Hana SL). Then a phono stage upgrade.
Pioneer PLX1000 + Hana EL mc cartridge ($700 + $500 = $1200). This would be a formidably excellent sounding combination! I have this TT in use right now with a Denon 103R. Why pay more?
