There is no doubt the sonic gains you are experiencing is the ZYX phono stage.
This is easily proven, just re-install your Rotel and listen again.
I believe the phono stage IS the soul of a table, arm and cartridge.
On a different note.
We have seen David Gilmour live two years ago, both concerts at a small venue, seating for about 2000 at Massey Hall Toronto Canada.
....Absolutely fabulous!
Live at Ggansk Poland should be thrilling.
I prefer live recording's to studio productions especially with Pink Floyd, the band needs tremendous room to breath.
The British first release are the one's to experience.
If you have seen them live, most definitely they go to great lengths to nail the sonics down where ever they play.
David Gilmour live at Massey hall was really something to experience.
Gilmour with Pink Floyd.
Most memorable was their Dark Side of the Moon tour, no other Rock band back then including many years later came close to the work they put into their sonic production.
