Phono stage recommendations


I am using a parasound jc 3 (original) phono stage with my rega rp8 turntable with Apheta 2 catridge . My amplification are the ayre kx-r twenty with the Ayre MX-r twenty power amps . 
I like my parasound. I am thinking of replacing it with a ayre p-5xe phono preamp as the rest of my system is ayre.
will I be upgrading or will I mess up the sound with the change .
thanks in advance .

Personally I've had both the JC3 and JC3+ phono stages and never thought they were anything special

Now use either a GN PH10 or NVO tube  phono stage
 GN is very versatile. Have never heard the p-x5e so can't comment.
