Well Mark:
For the most part, your system is fine the way it is.
If I were to make ONE upgrade to your system, if you haven't done so already, the upgrade I'd make would be that I'd change the interconnects that are behind the Phono Preamplifier.
You got a VERY NICE Turntable/Arm/Cartridge setup.
The interconnects that are connected behind your Phono Preamplifier aren't doing anything but holding back the potential and capability of your Analog System, and potentially, it's potentially lagging behind the rest of your system in terms of sonics.
That would be the ONLY thing I'd upgrade. And then, an interconnect upgrade shouldn't cost you $2K.
I'd say about $500.00 or so, and your system should be fine from ALL sources then (including Phono).
That other $1,500.00?? Go ahead and spend that on some music or something.
Happy Listening..
