I do not think you need anything in your current configuration.
If you use the only one sources and all the you need is to manage volume then

The 834P is a wonderful phonostage. Find the Thorsten’s Modification Guide: http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.pl?forum=vinyl&n=108318 or just build one yourself. The 834PT delivers very-very good results, particularly with the punchy “cartrid...

Ah, the current source!! Serge, you must be right. Ironically I did hear about this method of extracting cartridge signal by Dynavector when I used tier 507 arms but I forgot about it. If am not mistaken the Dynavector is not a phonostage by just vol...
