Please evaluate my system...


Interested in what you guys think of the following and if there are any obvious weaknesses:

- VPI Super Scoutmaster (standard)
- Denon DL103 with Paratrace retip
- Linn Linto phono stage
- Audio Research Ref 3 preamp
- Cyrus APA7.5 Monoblocks
- Focal Scala Utopia III Version 1

Not sure where to take the system next! Thanks, Tim

The Cyrus amps would be far down on my list of amps. I'd go for a First Watt F5. Class A from the esteemed Mr. Pass!
Thanks all. I have a wood body on the cart and as mentioned it's been re-tipped. I do have some room treatment over at my parents house that I can try out however I'm not really experiencing any room issues so not sure it'll help. 

I'm looking for a larger soundstage if I had to be fussy about it. It's ok at the moment but I'm not blown away. 

I get the amps, if they're not handling sub 4ohm then that won't work well with the Focal's. 

Will take a look at the ART 9 cartridge as well. 



@tim_field, Regardless of any type of power conditioner used dedicated 20 amp circuits runs with 12 or 10 gauge wire depending upon the distance and ones personal preferences is a must in my mind if its a possibility within your home. That one change will improve the sound of your music. Good AC quality outlets are also important.
I totally understand that the origional question you asked was centered upon compoient upgrades however the foundation of any construction site is extreamly important.
