However, the investment may also depend upon your TT set-up & how much you want to spend, proportionally. CAT's own phono is very good, and won't require extra cables. IMO, if you want to stay w/ tubes and do NOT wnat to invest in the likes of Aesthetix, insert the phono in your pre. If you prefer to for ss, another two I'll add to the above are, Ayre & Clearaudio reference. There are many others I don't know about, of course...

As you say, the dynamics... but a good phono all the same. That's why I wondered which analogue rig is playing here..
