I have an Audio Research PH5 phono pre going into a VTL Tl-5.5 tube pre-amp. Only one phono pre. The Black is used, but I'm told not even yet broken in.

I appreciate all of your advice, I have made a deal on a Koestu Black. I hope I made a good decision.Raul,Are you saying my weak link is the PH5? I would have thought it would be the Scout.ThanksJeff

Be careful,it just so happens that pre just got listed as a promotional item and Rick just happens to be a brand new member. Now that i look further Daemon is a brand new member. I'm only saying...
