Great story  enjoy the music   
my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise

Solid State Phono Stages
I have the simaudio 610 with the clear audio performance dc and I'm really happy with it- very quiet, plenty of detail and great mids. I assume the 810 is similar except better. Either would be a good choice.
