New cartridge
I am sure people will recommend some Lyra and Transfiguration cartridges and better phono stages.Is your digital satisfactory in this respect? Also, you didn't mention how stable the power is, whether or not you use good power cords and vibration ... 
An analog question for those who record
I do exactly what you want to do, and I use finely tuned and aligned Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck with reference metal tapes. It sounds good with better type II tapes too.Good reel to reel will sound better but will be most likely more expensive ... 
Best integrated or power amp -- voltage switchable
