A new phono stage is an improvement that would get lost in the resolving ability of the amp and speakers. NOT recommended. The Yamaha has a decent amount of power so I would consider the speakers the first upgrade, then the amp. If you buy another, higher quality integrated it may come with an improved phono stage anyway.
Next upgrade to an entry-level system?
Currently my system consists of:
- AT-LP120 turntable (with the shibata stylus)
- A-S301 integrated amp
- RP-500M II speakers
- RSL 10e subwoofer
Also I have been gradually collecting better quality vinyl, such as the BPO original source series. What would be the best thing to upgrade next?
