I need a loudness switch
I had tried a Loki. It does what it says it does. If you can flip the bypass on/off and settle on a loudness profile, you'll be overjoyed.I kept fiddling and it drove me crazy :-)Also, in bypass mode, its pretty hard to discern its actually there....

Ortofon Quintet Black vs 2M Black?
tried a 2M black on my prime, I was terribly underwhelmed. Not sure why my experience is so different from others. The quintet bronze works extremely well if you can handle a LOMC. I ran that for a while. Now on a Cadenza red and very happy.

Audible Illusions Modulus PreAmp>Best Amplifier Match Ever!
I had other tubes fail pretty quickly in the AIM3A. Even though they were supposed to be for the preamp.Used the 'real tubes' from AI now and things are good.I have it paired to a Primaluna Amp.

Both are well regarded matches. I am running a denon dl-110 for now and enjoy it as well.
