| EL 34 tubes I used Sophia EL34's in an AVA "Ultravalve" and thought they sounded great, at least compared to the stock tubes. | |
| Pure tube phono preamp Luxman EQ500...dead quiet! | |
| Purple Heart = Purple Rain? I have been a very happy KPH owner for the last 5-6 years with no problems whatsoever. I have it on a Well Tempered Versalex and now use a Luxman EQ500 phono stage, which makes for a wonderful match. Also, I have never noticed any tracking issues... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? If you think your system sounds great, why not just stick with it? Keep in mind that if you go with tubes, you may end up going down the "rabbit hole", spending countless hours and dollars looking to get the lowest noise and highest performing tub... | |

| Luxman EQ-500 Unfortunately, the Luxman is not the most intuitive phono stage when it comes to operating it. The gain settings that are on the front panel relate to MM. The manual and the reviews show that in moving coil mode, the gain level starts at 55 db, co... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 I have not tried any outboard SUTs, since I really don't have any more room on my rack for anything else, plus I don't want to spend any more money. I use the MC high loading and highest gain setting of 59 db, which is fine with my Kiseki PH NS ... | |
