critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve?

I just put together my first turntable setup after many years of listening to CDs only. It sounds pretty good -- good enough that I'm curious how to make it better. (: What weak link(s) do you see in this system? Where is the best bang for the buck?

Between the two of us we listen to a wide range of styles (symphony, choral, folk, indie, dark wave, metal). The one constraint is that the speakers can't be larger than about 20" tall and need to stand on a wooden sideboard/console type thing.

The setup:

Pro-ject T1 with built in phono stage

Luminous Axiom passive preamp

Rotel RB-1070 power amp

Blue Jeans interconnects

Klipsch KG2.2 speakers

Amazon Basics 12Ga speaker wire, Monoprice banana connectors

"Don’t listen to people telling you to "upgrade" those cables. They don’t believe in science and quantifiable facts. You’re 12AWG is way more than enough as long as it’s simple OFC. No cable will ever sound better."

     Yet another example of willful ignorance, or- just your ignorance of the truth/facts/science, gleaned since the 1800’s, regarding electricity?

                                  Either way: a SNORT (of derision)!
