Upgrade turntable or preamp next?

I just bought the Vandersteen 3A sigs and the Bel Canto Evo 2 amp. I already have a Conrad Johnson PV 12 preamp with phono stage which I bought new in 1997 and a VPI HW 19 Jr turntable which I bought new the same year. I play lots of records, but also listen to cds at home about 25% of the time. I've been thinking about either buying a Supratek preamp next or getting a better turntable in the 3,000-4,000 dollar range. Which do you think would have the most positive effect on the system? In other words, which is my weakest link? Thanks for your help.

Mlkiz,
The Supratek will be your last preamp. It's that good. I've had the opportunity to audition one at length in my own system using my LP12 and also a Teres 265. No doubt, in my case I'd rather have the Syrah than any other upgrade.
