finding the weak link

I have been debating whether to post this and decided that the experience and insights of you all would be very helpful.

I am using primarily an Aurender A10 and Dr Feickert turntable as my sources with a Prima Luna Dialogue premium integrated amp (mostly using KT150's)  and Vienna Acoustics Liszt speakers. To upgrade my system further my thought was the the Prima Luna is the weak link. Any thoughts? If you agree, what are your thoughts for a replacement?

Thank you!!

Replacing the Prima Luna would be a sideways move at best! Get a new phono cartridge and maybe a new phono stage. Hana SL ($750) is an easy recommendation. The Aurender streamer is fine! No need to change that! A DAC would be a good addition, though diminishing returns set in quickly above $1K.

List your entire set up. The Liszt and PL amp might be quite warm. Is that what you want more of? Or do you want more detail and transparency? Etc.

@rhach what tonearm & cartridge are on the Feickert? What cables are you using including ac cords?
