I use the 17d3 with the ps audio GCPH it sounds fantastic and has plenty of gain.
Thanks for posting the additional information. I had a system similar to yours and I think you should try a cartridge upgrade first. IMO speakers and cartridges make the most significant audible difference in a system.

Best of luck finding the system that makes you happy. It looks like you picked great speakers, amp and TT combination.
Thank you jperry,
Love luxman/harbeth for analog,
I will upgrade cartridge, any suggestion?
