Your system specs look good to me. Based on what you said; “ looking for more dynamic sound, detail (without edge) and musicality.”, the first places I would look at are 1., the phono cartridges…there are so many newer models at various price points since your last cartridge purchase, that this one upgrade may itself solve your quest, 2., the phono stage…again, many options to play around with at various price points for phono preamps.
Depending on your budget, the cartridge market is a free for all. There are plenty of below the 5k mark, and in between, 5-10k, it is another world, and then above 10k, more rare species of cartridges. If you like what Soundsmith did for you on the retip, at the just below 5k range, the Sussaro MKII is exemplary.
