1. Lots has been written about LPS | SUT mismatching/incompability, you may Google...
2. I doubt XV1-S can touch Ebony L in performance, and since you like the LPS then L will sound similar but better with your phono.
3. Consider demoing & buying an ’active’ phono and keeping the LPS.
4. The Ebony L costs $2k NIB for the last few years from a seller on Audiigon, all carts that may better its performance cost much more than that.
