I've owned the EE Minimax phono preamp for about 15 years. Some years ago I replaced the original 12ax7 tubes with NOS Mullards from Upscale Audio. Expensive, but a very worthwhile upgrade.
The phono preamp was plugged into an EE M520, then a Rogue Cronus Magnum, and now a PrimaLuna integrated - - the preamp worked well with all of these tube integrated amps.
But . . . as others have asked, what are your other components?
