If you already have speakers you could replace the full size amp with a mini amp.
A stylus upgrade for the LP60 from conical to elliptical is LP GEAR CFN3600LE $29 or with a new belt $39.
That receiver doesn’t have a DAC it seems. If you don’t need AM/FM and want connectivity options, something like the Topping MX3 would work well, especially on a desk.

Otherwise, I’d go with a cheap Denon or Yamaha over the Sony.
