Hi all, quick question for everyone. My current phono set up is a Ortofon 2m Blue/Pro Ject Debut III/U turn Pluto pre amp/yamaha RX v 465/some cheap sony speakers/ or the u turn pluto to a schitt magni 2 uber/Sennheiser HD 650's for a headphone set up. When I have my Schiit hooked up with my CD player (Marantz CC-65) the quality is great and I feel like the headphones are adequately powered while this is not the case for my phono configuration im thinking this is due to an under powered phono stage.

What I am considering is an upgrade of my Yamaha receiver and cheap sony floor standing speakers to a Marantz PM6005 or 6006 and a set of Dali Zensor 3's. At that point I would ditch my U turn Pluto and headphone amp while using my TT and use the Integrated Amp's built in's. Does this make sense? Or may I still be running into an under powered set up? Also what would you guys recommend as an upgrade first, speakers or the amp? It would be about a month gap in between. Thanks!
