Need help finding a new phono stage.


I just purchased the Marantz tt-15s1.
It has a dynavector 10x5 installed on it.
I have a Cambridge audio cp1, and it sounds great. Which I'm not fully understanding because I thought that stage was for mm only? Can someone help explain this?
My amp is set 3/4 the way up for the volume level I like.. but even at full tilt it doesnt sound distorted or anything!
I guess my main question, and my next step is what is a good phono stage to upgrade to??
For now though I am happy. 
Thanks in advance.

Would help to get an idea of your budget?
As there are literally thousands of options out there.
SS or tubes?
MM only or MM and MC?

With a bit more info I am sure we can come up with great ideas.
Hi I own the Parasound Halo JC3 Jr. I looked hard at the Gold Note PH10. I liked the variable EQ curves of the GN and its aesthetics more. I found the Halo to be the best of the dozen phono amps I tried at limiting rfi (we live near a tower) and in the real world is extremely quiet. 

In the end, I don’t have a ton of records using the older Decca curves, etc. so the advantage of rhe GN in that regard didn't matter to me. While specs are not everything, i find Halo’s to be very honest and kore granular. I have included rhe GN also. I don’t think you could go wrong with either.
