My two cents,
At 88 dBs, your DM601 are not the most efficient speakes for your Baby amp and you may be missing valuable information. Shop for a more efficent full range speaker like the Zu Omen (97 dBs). You can find a used pair for around $1,000.00 and you won't need to use the VTF-2 anymore. Sell it for some cash. Also, the Bellari - VP130 tube phono preamp will be hard to beat at around $250.00.
Happy listening!
