Need help finding a new phono stage.

I just purchased the Marantz tt-15s1.
It has a dynavector 10x5 installed on it.
I have a Cambridge audio cp1, and it sounds great. Which I'm not fully understanding because I thought that stage was for mm only? Can someone help explain this?
My amp is set 3/4 the way up for the volume level I like.. but even at full tilt it doesnt sound distorted or anything!
I guess my main question, and my next step is what is a good phono stage to upgrade to??
For now though I am happy. 
Thanks in advance.

My local dealer recommended a musical fidelity v90-LPs.
Going to bring home to try it out. Only a cost of $100 dollars after trading in my CP1

Thanks for the replies.
I'd say budget is 500 to 750.
Just wasnt sure about mc or mm. High vs low output and all the technical stuff.
Would a different stage help with gain? Or volume. It just feels like I shouldnt have my amp turned up so high.

Really appreciate all the feedback. Thank you.
First real system and starting to truly shape up.
Every component has been purchased used but well taken care of and I've saved a ton from what I'm told.
Got the azure 740 a for $350
The cp1 for $100
The Tt-15s1 and dynavector 10x5 for $1400
Starter table was a new Rega Planar 1 with Nagaoka mp-110 I believe it's called.
All Canadian currency.
