Thank you!
Great advice. It does seem like a phono pre upgrade would be the most inexpensive way to go here. I will look at that Creek and I'll look at some others. I've always wondered whether the Graham Slee stuff would be an upgrade.
Maybe bi-amping horizontally would bring only marginal sonic upgrades. I do like all of the gear. I just think that I may be able to get a bit more out of things. And, I can easily agree that the Ortofon 2M Black is not a weakness. When I listen to vinyl, my system sounds better and well recorded stuff is more holographic and real.
I'd be curious to hear other loudspeakers in my system too. I've always wanted to try Spendors. Is it more audiophile folklore than truth about mating British amps with British speakers? Hmmmmmmm.....
I also think that the Creek integrated is capable of sounding pretty darn good and could mate with better speakers.
I've got some hunting and thinking to do. Any additional opinions are very appreciated.
