Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else?

I own one & really like it. I run mine with the optional power supply. If you want another professional review (other than MF), check out the Jan. 2017 Hi-Fi News & record review. I ran a Sonic Frontiers prior to this. The AA is beautifull... 
What is the most important component in your system.
" Google speaker wire and Roger Russell to learn how I got to my opinion on this subject" I think I'll pass on that, I already have my own opinion.
