Analog upgrade

Thanks for the replies. Very helpful.

I've heard the Clearaudios at my dealer but obviously not with the same system has mine. I know there are many good options-maybe better-but I'm loyal to my dealer and will stay with him if its close. He was great i helping me put together my system (as he should be) and provides great service if any glitches arise. That's very important to me as I would be baffled. 

No and frankly the options are limited by supply chain issues even within the lines he carries. I'm interested in the Sota-great reviews-but no nearby dealer and I'd be afraid to try to set it up on my own. I'm an old guy who thought 8 trac tapes were the pinnacle of technology-love the music-intimidated by the machines.

Thanks. I could do that. 

Thank you for the sound advice.
