Looking to expand my horizons in this genre. 

Any recommendations?

Hey everyone.  I would appreciate some imput.  I've been looking to update my modest set up.  I've had a Pro-Ject debut Carbon for about 3 years now with a Sony STR-DE305 and very generic bookshelf speakers w/ sub.   It's ok for what it is, but I've been trying to focus on quality over quantity of vinyl lately. I am really looking for the best quality possible and the ability to upgrade certain components as possible.  Also under $500 for preamp/amp is ideal, but willing to spend more if it's worth it.
