How do you know what your weakest link is?

I'm  contemplating what to upgrade and need some advice on what my weakest link is? I'm considering either upgrading my Clearaudio Concept Wood to a Performance DC Wood/Ovation with a Hana ML or upgrading my Musical Surroundings Nova III to a Modwright 9.0. Is my table the weak link or is my phono? What will my best gain come from and what should I expect that gain to manifest as?

You may only be interested in changing the few items you listed but as MC was getting at is that we need to see the whole system to make a recommendation. Back in the day we saw many hi-end turntables paired with 139 dollar loudspeakers. Knowing the whole picture really helps to see what your weak link is and it's often something you were not thinking about.

"...@russ69 I should probably set up my virtual system on here...."

I thought I looked. Did you post that yesterday? Anyway that was very helpful. I like your system. I don't have much to input other than a cartridge change always brings about a new and different sound. My other thought is I have not heard the PrimaLuna pre-amp but it could be holding you back. You might want to try something else in that position and see.
