Making phono resistance plugs
@lewm, Appreciate your feedback. I will definitely give it a shot later this afternoon. The E-Glo phono uses toggle switch to adjust load and gain (I deliberately pick this phono for easier operation rather than crawling back or messing with dip s...

@oldhvmec,The post from @imhififan made the things crystal clear...LOL!!! 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
OP, Cheap Streamers = Subpar SQ. If that’s what you’re aiming at, go for it. Don’t be surprised if you’re disappointed with the sound. To enjoy high resolution streaming upto 24bit/192kHz from Qobuz, you need to invest into decent streamer / DAC c... 
Making phono resistance plugs
@oldhvmec,Thanks for sharing the article. Pretty basic...as a newbie to analog, I am struggling a bit to find that ‘perfect’ load setting for my cart. The recommended load setting for my Hana Umami Red is >60 ohms. Fortunately my phono allows m... 
Audio envy - dang!
@ebm,We all know your world revolves around Purist and Magico’s. Keeping an open mind in this hobby of ours can be quite rewarding. Try it sometimes, you may learn a thing or two 😊 
High end Class D amps?
OP,  Check out the gantube based class D amps, https://www.agdproduction.com/static/gantube.html 
High end Class D amps?
To my ears, Class A amp still beats out Class A/B and Class D amps. I never cared for McIntosh Solid State Amps, IME their autoformer driven amps are no better than class D amps. Just like class D, the sound is clean as whistle but very bland. 
Streamer's without built in DAC options?

Next Upgrade??
+1, @gestalt. I had Hana ML before I upgraded to Hana Umami Red. Hana ML is a very good sounding cart and excellent value for the money. If you love the sound of ML, you’re are going to appreciate the uptick in subtleties with Umami. The Umami sim... 
Should I upgrade my phono pre??
@oranfoster,Thank you for your post. I am a newbie to Vinyl playback so I am still learning and exploring the ways to better my analog setup. Your thread peaked my interest since I own Accuphase E-650 and been thinking about optional AD-50 phono b... 
Ever Hear a Tube CD player?
If you can find any used Raysonic CD Player jump on it. I have yet to hear a tube CD Player under $5K that is as wonderful as my Raysonic CD128.  
Phonostage recommendations under $3K
Thanks @chakster. Will check it out, for now I am enjoying my time with E-Glo S with external LPS. It has surpassed all of my expectations, gorgeous relaxed sound that is expected from any well made tube phono. The build quality and the sound cert... 
Phono stage recommendations
@grk, Congrats on Luxman EQ-500, I bet the synergy with C-900u is off the charts. I have recently bought the EAT E-Glo S with external LPS and it has surpassed all of my expectations (previously owned Parasound ZPhono XRM). There is just something... 
Should I upgrade my phono pre??
@oranfoster,What is the update? Did you try any external phono?
