What phono preamp are you using?

@gakerty +1. I also love my Andros Deluxe 2, the best among my several phono stages. Excellent description. Thanks for the tube rolling tips. Agree, should have 30k and 47k MC loading options.

@gakerty BTW, you meant Tesla E83CC, correct?

One cartridge is an Experion for quite a while now, but there are many others. Phone stage is a Conrad Johnson TEA 1, series 3, most often with a Consolidated Silver SUT, which is external, although the cj also has an internal SUT on one input that is also used often, mostly with a VAS mono cartridge that I like.  I also like the Ortofon 2M mono moving magnet, which is based on the 2M Black and works well on many older 1950-1960 jazz/blues records.  I also have other SUTs and other phono stages, but the above are the ones in heavy rotation these days.

@vinylvalet.  Sorry,yes I meant E83CC,they are the frame grid short plate Teslas.  Perfectly quiet and with the greatest amount of detail with the 12ax7 types I tried.  They actually sound just about identical to the Telefunken 12ax7.
