Advice for a two channel amp
Try a Denon PMA2000IVR - probably around 500 USD used and has built in MM/MC phono...fantastic value for money. 
Analog upgrade advice.
IMHO the RB700 is one of the best bang for the buck I've ever encountered...I have the same amp as you and I am very impressed with the built-in phono stage...in my opinion you should get into MC cart (plug into the Luxman) and keep the rest as is...

Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences
TOBES - many thanks for further info! Yes, weight may be an issue, as you mentioned...also, understood that it's a good cart for the price but won't reach the performance of the much more expensive ones. I am planning for the re-build of my Shelte... 
Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences
TOBES - Many thanks!!! for taking the time and sharing the perfect info (the guy should write a book). Now I know I need the 103r (which I will get ASAP) and I got a new thing to obsess over for the future - how would the cart sound in a stone body? 
Help me pick a great phono cable
