It this a decent Phono setup?

I have the following items I’ve been using for spinning vinyl. The system sounds pretty good, but I’m wondering there is anything that would mate even better? 
 

- Denon DN-300F turntable (bought it modded with direct RCA outputs to use separate preamp).

- Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge.

- McCormack Micro Phono Drive.

- Discovery Plus Four interconnects (2 pairs).

 

MAIN SYSTEM

Mark Levinson 383 integrated

Revel F30 speakers

Cardas golden reference speaker cables

Thanks for all the suggestions. Overall, I like the sound of my vinyl setup. However, it’s not quite up to par with my digital side, which is a modded Cambridge 851c. I see there are several posts regarding the Audio Technica cartridge, so I may look into swapping out the ortofon red. Anyone have any experience with the ortofon blue? 

Regarding the audio technical vm540ML, how do you check capacitance of the tonearm wire, phono cables and phono stage to make sure it’s under 200pF?
