Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc
@jond  thanks that is very helpful. Appreciated.  
what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps?
I’m curious about Accuphase with Devore 0/96. Thoughts?   
Which Esoteric amp?
@paleo12  what was the outcome of the demo?   
Phasemation cart on Technics
@oceanandmountains  very nice! I’m running Heresy IV’s and am considering the Leben.    anyway, I have removed both weights and completely redid the arm/angle/tracking force etc. see if maybe I butter fingered something.

@oceanandmountains  same setup the other than the mat. Are you using the aux weight?

@lewm  great point and I guess I have never really thought about it.  
Phasemation cart on Technics
Thanks @lewm  and you are correct about my mistake. And yes, its dumb of me to be asking questions after a handful of hours but I guess I wonder if its the suspension or the tonearm (which is not a great fit). I'll keep on keeping on.

Tube preamp topologies and music
Thanks all for tons of info!    I’m trying to parse things as best I can so I wanted to use an example: Air Tight ATM-2: KT88 push/pull Air Tight ATM-1: EL34 also push/pull driving 99db Klipsch heresy 4 nor make listening volume at 80db

Great thanks  
Tube preamp topologies and music
Perfect thanks. That makes sense. So Probably a push/pull design would fare better? What role do the tubes play in this say a push/pull kit-88 (Air Tight ATM-2) vs a 211 push/pull (LampizatOr)?  
Glanz toners for dummies
@mikelavigne  thanks. When reading the Glanz site all the copy reads the same. Unfortunately the upper arm is out of reach but still believe the lower arm will be an upgrade over my current arm. I’m looking to run Phasemation and similar carts whi...
