I have a Rowland "Capri" with phono card. Looking to upgrade to a stand alone unit. Budget is up to $1500.This is the only one I have tried so I'm not sure how much better I can get for $1500. System: Vienna Baby Grand Moscode 401HR JRDG Capri Rega P 3-24 Dynavector 10x5 cart
I suggest you leave Rowland alone for now and upgrade cartridge/table/arm. You have entry-level front end and mid-level preamp; the system is not well balanced.
Also, I am unfamiliar with your amp but would guess that if in the future you replace it with Rowland power amp that would be good. You have excellent speakers, and I know that they do sound very well with Rowlands. And good cables, of course.
