Priscilla Ahn Sibilance
My copy of Priscilla Ahn's "A Good Day" sounds wonderful with no sibilance at all. You might try dropping the height of the tonearm down just a tad. Sibilance can come from the VTA, (or SRA) being too high. Dropping the rear of the tonearm down wi... 
5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes
The Create Audio 5AR4/GZ34 is "supposed" to be quite good. I've heard/read mixed reviews. I haven't tried one yet, but might. 
Looking for info. ANDANTE E phono cartridge
Some of the Andante's were rebranded from other companys, like Grace. 
Favorite album art?
Check out the books "Album Cover Album" for some really neat covers. I think there are 7 or 8 volumes. I have all of them. I know there are several other books, but these are the best. They are authored by Roger Dean and Storm Thorgerson.

Best tubed full-function preamp with remote
