Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice

Oh, and by the way, he is currently using an older, mass market technics turntable and the phono stage in a Haffler preamp.  I'm thinking that the Haffler stage should be pretty good, although the preamp itself is having issues.  We will likely tr...
