Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp

Get the Technics 1200GR.

If getting a phono stage first:
I like really like my Project phono box RS $1700 with outboard self-charging battery power supply. Has XLR outs, is very quiet and detail rich. It is dual mono...settings for both channels and can load capacitance down to 100. Also has 3 gain settings.

Dear @millercarbon :   "   vs pure tubey magic... "

certainly you have a wide " imagination " because that " magic " just does not exist and never existed. Can you prove it its existence with true repétitive  facts?

OP said: "Just going through some upgrade fever I guess".

OP says happy with the Hana. OK, but we can still suggest ideas.

I was very happy with my MM Shure/SAS cartridge, then after much resistance, and encouragement here, I tried a MC, via SUT to existing beloved tube phono. Sure GLAD I had my resistance broken!

I still use my old Shure on a separate arm.

My MC choice was based on both wider channel separation and tighter center balance than the Shure. It’s imaging is why I prefer it.

IOW, a different cartridge, as an addition to the Hana, will give the largest audible difference.

IMO, a better TT/ARM is essentially ’to do less’ i.e. less vibration, less speed variation, better transmission of groove/stylus down the wire. While ’advisable’ an audible improvement detected, the system sound will be essentially the same.

I never saw or heard OP’s Vincent or a Jolida, I looked online, both very versatile, quickie search decent reviews, within OP’s budget, seemed to me just keep the Vincent.

Any phono stage change really needs return option, their sound in ____ system is not easily predictable.

this looks interesting, MM and MC phono, but no returns

New table for sure. VPI is usually the most mentioned in that price range, but I personally prefer the aesthetics of the Clearaudio Concept w/ Satisfy tonearm.

I would make look at the various online retailers (MusicDirect, HiFi Heaven, Upscale Audio etc.) or local stores and find a good deal on an open box special. 

The table you have is capable, and the cartridge is quite good.

I think you're going to have to spend north of 4k to get a significant improvement over your current table.  Below that, and you're just trading one design compromise for another.

Go for the phono preamp at this point.
