External phono stage for Luxman 509x

I have a Luxman 509x on the way. I’ve heard it has a good mm/mc phono stage built in. What would it take in an external phono stage to beat it? Would something like a Parasound Jc3+ be better and why?

With that said, you need to buy the cartridge to work with MC as it’s set to a 100ohm load. Absolutely zero flexibility.
