Does phono stage noise drive you crazy too?
Me neither my unit is tubed and the only time I can hear any noise (hiss) is at wide open throttle. But I could never listen at anywhere near this level. So it sounds like system interaction or set-up issues.Chuck

CJ pre-amp with McIntosh amp?
Another thought . I don't know if you would or ever considered a tubed amp but there is a premier 11a available on this site right now (no association). I had one paired with a pv-10 driving a pair of thiel 3.6's and it sounded wonderful. I will h...
