Thinking to replace my phono

Hi All,

I was wondering, what are the benefits I can get by replacing the phono stage with a more expensive one, say -  8K$-11K$?
My current analog setup made from Brinkmann Bardo turntable & 10.5 arm, Miyajima-Laboratory Kansui cartridge, Zesto Andros PS phono. The above setup connects to Luxman C\M900u pre+amp and Magico S3mk2 speakers.

Any thought or knowledge is welcome.
Thanks

If you don't like black tubes, NOS Telefunken ECC83/12AX7 (smooth plates) will bring refinement with more detail, transparency and air and spaciousness and remove the chromy glare of those 803S JJs.

Replace the 4 JJs in your Zesto with Shanghung 12AX7LPS black from Grant Fidelity. Give them 20 hours to burn in. Different league from the bright and fizzy JJs.
