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

@exupgh12 - what cables are you using from the phono stage to the amp?

I agree with millercarbon with respect to the weakest "component",

But then I consider cables to be equally as important as components.

For the caliber of your components I would take a look at In-akustik brand of cables.

In-akustik uses advanced cable geometry and top quality wire to provide the very best in signal transmission.

Good Luck - Steve

Wow the system you have outlined above is one the majority of us would call an end game setup, certainly in that league. What is it you are hoping to gain in upgrading your phono? Sometimes more money doesn't equate to better sound, just different sound. Good luck on your quest and enjoy your already fine setup in the mean time. Enjoy the music
