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?

Try a Lounge Audio phono stage, Might give you what you are missing for relatively small $$ after you sell the Cambridge..

At $300, the Lounge is a steal..
I purchased one for my son ( LP12/Naim Nait2, Linn Kans ) and we were very happy with it. Ended up buying another one as a gift for my nephew ( Rega RP3, Rega Brio,Wharfdale bookshelf ) - he loves it as well. This is a fun phono and punches well above its' asking price...
