Thinking to replace my phono


Hi All,

I was wondering, what are the benefits I can get by replacing the phono stage with a more expensive one, say -  8K$-11K$?
My current analog setup made from Brinkmann Bardo turntable & 10.5 arm, Miyajima-Laboratory Kansui cartridge, Zesto Andros PS phono. The above setup connects to Luxman C\M900u pre+amp and Magico S3mk2 speakers.

Any thought or knowledge is welcome.
Thanks

many thanks for your deep replay, everything you wrote is so true, however, some of the photos are older once like the one showing the RCA plugs (it's on actually taken from the previous system, on the C900 every plug is closed) or the speakers close to the cabint - today the speakers are about 50 cm in front of the cabinet and 100cm fro the wall behind it.

i'll try some of your advice before auditing new phono.

Thanks.

Many thanks for your opinion, love it when someone can see things i didn't

Thank you so much.
