Phonostage Advice

I own a Modwright LS100 with an internal phono board. Do you believe that adding a dedicated phonostage would provide significant improvement? My budget is $1500  and I am not sure if spending that much will get me something better. I own a VPI Classic II with a Dynavector 20X2L. Thanks in advance.

revisiting my topic, I think I will rule out a Tube MC preamp strictly on noise basis. I am thinking solid state will be quieter and more consistent

Take a look at Musical Surroundings offerings.  I have an older Nova Phonomena and it's very quiet and has a lot of loading and gain options.  I am not familiar with their current lineup, but the Musical Surroundings Nova III fits in your budget.
