Next upgrade for my analog source

Hi all! hope I can get some opinions on the next upgrade step for my analog source.

Currently am using Rega P6 TT with Nagaoka MP 200 (MM) cartridge, and the EAR 834P fonostage.

Preamp and amp are using Lumley Reference Amplifier (Tube KT88) and going to PMC 20.24 speakers. 

So am thinking of either:
1. upgrading the fonostage to the new PS audio Stellar phono (getting rave reviews)
2. upgrading the cartridge to MC type (maybe Lyra Delos?)
3. upgarding the TT itself (not sure what to get in the $2k-$2.5k range)

I mostly listen to classical (violin, orchestra) and jazz on my analog source.

Thanks for any inputs!

Hello,
The Rega P6 TT is a great turntable for the money. If your cartridge is in good shape and has life left in it I would go with the PS Audio Stellar option. I believe they let you try it before committing to it. Also you can trade in your old Phono stage to ease the money after you do an A/B comparison. If you do not like the Stellar. You can move to the cartridge which will not be returnable.
