As others have said, the phono preamp is a good call for your next step. I think you should spend time listening to and reading about equipment. Find a local high-end hi-fi shop and understand what brands are available.
You don’t mention a budget. You’re better off buying used, high-quality components piece-by-piece than run-of-the-mill stuff. For <$5k, I built you a serious system that you could live with for a very long time and likely be happy:
Audible Illusions 3A Preamp - $1300 (This is a great Class A, dual-mono preamp) includes a phono section.
Jeff Rowland 112 Amp $2399 150‑watt‑per‑channel stereo power amplifier, machined from a solid block of aluminum. Made in USA
Moon LP5.3 phonostage $721 (widely regarded as one of the best sub‑$2k phono stages ever) - You don’t need this, the preamp includes a phono section.
ITC-1 Speaker $495 (a boutique, engineering‑driven design with an external equalizer and unusually advanced crossover)
GRAND TOTAL $4915
You already have a turntable so, I excluded it. Use the leftover $85 to build your own speaker cable.
(An alternate honorable mention speaker is the classic Dahlquist DQ 10 - but it went over my suggested $5k budget @ $699)
