Any good tube headphones and headphone amps for vinyl playback?
The only tubed headphone amp I've owned is the one in my preamp, so I won't make any recommendations there, other than to say I would give the Schiit Mjolnir 2 some consideration.  I owned the first one and it did a lot of things right.If you like... 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
@elliottbnewcombjr This isn't meant as a putdown, but I'm having a hard time making sense of your dialogue about switching from a MM to MC cart since the OP has a nice MC cart already.Getting a better turntable is the thing that is most likely to ...

So, just a bug to change something, I suggest you try a different cartridge.Of the three items the OP mentioned, he said he's happy with the cartridge.  Besides that, it's by far the best component he has in his analog chain.  Even if he found som...

I misread and thought you already have the Clearaudio Concept. That Pro-ject table should definitely be the first thing to go. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks!  
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
I have to add this.  I bought a Technics SL 1200 MK2 for $600 that came with a Zu Audio Denon DL-103.  The cartridge sounded like crap and at first I thought it was just a bad match with the turntable, so I put something else on and put the Zu in ...

@dhite71 Where did you see preorder availability for Clapton Unplugged?

The turntable is the foundation of your analog chain.  The Concept is a nice entry level table.  I had one, but didn't keep it long.  It was way too sensitive to footfalls in my listening space.  While it may be better on more solid footing, that ...

Elton John - Honky Chateau. Giving the Technics sl 1200 Mk 2 a workout tonight. This is sounding really wonderful, great production, nice imaging and soundstage, and most importantly great performances.

Follow up to my previous post, apparently that guy did eventually sell his records to the person who now has the largest record collection in the world.

Jim, after watching this video about the guy with the largest record collection in the world, which at the time was valued at 50 million dollars, not being able to sell it, I'm not so sure I should bank my retirement on the MOFIs! https://m.youtub... 
Gotten Any Good Trash Records Lately?
I've had people do that, it's annoying.

I have the Harbeth P3ESR in my computer room with a Power Sound Audio S1500 sub (total overkill).  The speakers are about 3 1/2 feet from my listening position.  I have not heard the others you mentioned, but have KEF Ref 1 in my main system.  The... 
Any good tube headphones and headphone amps for vinyl playback?
There's really no difference listening between digital and analog with headphones.  A source is a source and the amp and headphones (if they're decent) will deliver whatever comes from the source.What's your budget?  Do you currently have speakers...
