I'm sitting in the sweet spot...listening to one of the truly sublime albums of all time...composition, performance and production...Tea For The Tillerman.

Ortofon 2m Blue on a Rega RP3 with ttpsu, groovetracer ref, subplatter, assymeyrical counterweight, white belt.  Cambridge 651p phono stage.  Very happy with it all (subplatter made a phenomenal difference, btw)

just looking for for that bit of atmosphere I've heard in my favorite dealer's sound room.  So where can I find it? Go up to the 2m black?  Phono stage?  Acrylic platter?  Or is it elsewhere in the system?  Odyssey Candela and Khartago extreme into B&W CDM1 SE's. ..mid range audio quest wiring throughout. 

Any my input would be much appreciated.  This system is mighty close to where I'd want to go.  Modest by most standards here, but feels like an old favorite flannel shirt, ya know?

To Mofimadness, have you heard the MP-1P  sold by Musical Paradise???. Their shipping cost is off the scale for such a small box. Also, $499 is hardly bargain basement.  The pre-amp interior circuits and wiring look clean, but who makes this product??

To varyat, Have you heard this Lounge Audio  phono pre-amp??  How good is it.??  
Also, do you get two drinks for the cover charge, and is their piano man??  

To Mofi madness and varyat  thanks for the information. Unfortunately, the Lounge Audio phono pre-amp is only MM. I am not sure it could do high output  MC's like Sumiko BP-2 or Dynavector 10X5  But I will check with them. 

The Muiscal Paradise  phono- pre is too expensive with shipping  for my current analog needs   Cheers.
