Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used.


Hello all, I need some opinions on Phono stages. I currently have a VPI scoutmaster with a vessel MM R3SM cartridge and a Schiit  Mani phono stage. This set up just does not fill the room like my digital does, anyone have any opinions on what I need to do to make this happen. How much do I need to spend on a phone stage, new or used.

I agree with those who identify the Schjiit Mani as the weak link. WEAK.  

I also agree with @miller carbon that the Herron VTPH-2A will significantly improve your vinyl chain.  It would be, and has been, my first and only choice for vinyl reproduction for years.  If you're lucky, you could find one used.
