$1,500 phono upgrade worth it?

Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive
@audiosaurusrex I found out after I had ordered my speaker cables and interconnects that power should have been first. I am now trying to decide if I should order the Powercell 8 or upgrade my amplifier tubes. I am leaning toward the Powercell jus...
