rrlev,
If you really want to hear what is recorded deep into the vinyl and with no distortion, just perfection; pick up a Whest Audio phono stage. The least expensive one starts around $2K and it is very good. But if you really want to dig deep into the recording, you can get into the upper level units they make. It is quite amazing what you will hear.
This is not tube stuff; its all hand selected and matched discreet solid state gain stages with all hand selected Clarity capacitors, phase aligned internal wiring etc. and the main board is mounted in a full suspension within the chassis. Dual toroid power supplies, its really good equipment.
Mojo has threatened a visit to hear, but I don't want to be responsible for causing his audio habit to go to the next financial notch.
