newbie seeks help with system design


Hello! I come to you to humbly ask for help getting myself set up to listen to and eventually stream vinyl without breaking the bank. I have inherited the following components:

B&O Beogram 3404 turntable
Acurus Line Amp L10
Bryston Stereo Amp 2B
a pair of AR 15 speakers

I think I still need a phono amp even to simply listen to vinyl. For that purpose, I'm considering a Pro-Ject Phono Box DC Phono Pre-Amp. As for streaming, I think the Sonos Port will get me there, although if I want to replace my Acurus and Bryston then I could go for the Sonos Amp. I would consider this strategy if the quality of the Sonos amp so far surpasses the Acurus and Bryston as to justify it. Does it? Am I going about this correctly? Can you point me in any further directions in terms of good but not crazy expensive phono amps? Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time!

Would not hurt to follow the advice provided by millercarbon. Cartridge output + phonostage gain = desired output.
