Thanks everyone for the help, this is exactly the help i needed.
I'm running a Mccormack DNA 0.5 (100k) into B&W Matrix 803.
If I go with Raul's suggestion of getting the Orfton M20E, what sort of phono stage ($400 -$500 range) should I put infront of the placette? On my digital end, I'm running an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 (100ohm) with Empirical Audio Modifications and I have "just" enough gain. My Musical Fidelity DAC A324 (50 ohm?) has way more punch.
