Yup Andrew. That's why the Eternal One made chocolate and vanilla.
May I ask, what turntable, phonostage and cartridge are you using?

Beautiful system. I've always liked Sonic Frontiers kit, I used to have a SFL-1 preamplifier.
So, you have tubes in your system!

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.

I need to visit a lot of folks once this madness is over. You're definitely on the list, Slim.

Phil,
If I ever get the theater up I will extend the same to you. Except for sources we will have very similar systems for the LFRs.
