Hi Tom,

I guess I have the same model AHT phono stage as you then (AHT/P DM), but without the built-in passive volume control -- which seems like a great way to go. I just wanted to clarify that the Walker version uses the same basic circuit topology as the AHT, but is now being sold under the Walker moniker.
In my opinion, the AHT Non-Signature ranks way up there. Currently, the rights to the AHT were sold to Walker Audio and Lloyd Walker makes a hardwired point to point version without circuit boards(unheard of for solid-state), using very costly premium-grade parts and an ultra-regulated heavy-duty dual mono power supply for $8000. It has to be considered one of the best, if not "the best" available. If you're searching for a no-holds-barred phono stage then you must audition this piece.
