Upgrade phono stage?


Have an AudioNote M1 phono MM.  It still delivers great music!  I don't know if I should upgrade the phono stage part.  Purchase a stand alone phono stage and run it through the aux inputs?

Nice system. Have you rolled the tubes? A pair of Telefunkens will bring new life to the phono amp. Then the ECC82 line amp tube. Also try them without the shields on.
You could try a sale or return Schiit Mani phono from Amazon for $149 into the Aux input to get an idea of where you’re at.
Longer term, I’d be looking at upgrading your turntable though.
