"Balanced Output" Phono Pre-amp??

Albert, Thanks for the information. Genelex KT66s! When I asked Kevin about that, he wasn't sure if circuit required a modification for these tubes. Two power supplies!!! Wow! Can you give me a rough idea on improvement as compared 1. Changing tube brands 2. The change to KT-66s 3. Going finally to 2 PS. I am very interested in your thoughts. Sen d me a direct members e-mail if you can. What about better caps in the phono section? What do you know about that? Thanks again. I love this pre-amp, but I am still the hobbyist. Cheers, Gerry Will Jim do this for other customers?

Albert, My e-mail address is GERRY_GASSMAN@HP-Cupertino-om9.om.hp.com please send me yours and we'll exchange phone numbers. What you wrote today was all good news for me. I'll order the Genelex KT-66 today. Sounds like that's the change to make immediately. This weekend I'll look at the PS area again at the jumper area. Can't visilize the jumpers you're talking about while I'm on a business teleconferenvce and how two cables for each PS can served by one each into phono unit. I'll talk to John Barnes and or Garth on how to order the extra PS. Work has a priority right now. Thanks again! Gerry

Also the new EAR (346?) preamp with built in phono has balance inputs/outputs. I did listen to the EAR and the Roland at the Anolog Shop in San Jose. They sound quite different, but both being good. Read the reviews as Carl said. Neither sounded as good as the store's Narga preamp (not balanced) or my own Aesthetix (balanced)at home. The EAR is a good performance value/price point. cheers, Gerrym5

Just noticed an Aesthetix listed on audioweb.com. for $3500. Rare opportunity and my still be available. For those looking for a balanaced phono stage, check it out.
