I would be inclined to go with your best and with the phono unit separate with clear indications of lowest price unit and ease of upgrade. But it is a very tough question becuase if the lowest unit recieves high praises at that attractive price po...

My system could go bright and also did not want that. This is not bright and there is no bloat. It is sparkling and defined but not etched. Better than my ss preamp in ways mentioned in other posts but without sacrificing bass slam etc.
