KT150s in a Preamp Design?
My phono preamp uses 7581A 35w power tubes in the power supply. The big supply gives more depth, space and air to the soundstage. 
Turntable help/recommendation with specific setup
or commit less money to the TT and spend more on the cartridge (e.g. get something like the U-turn Orbit Special at around $500 and spend $1k-1500 on a cartridge)No. The other way around.

Interesting on a number of counts. Sounded small, bland, weak highs, poor QC, and combative manufacturer.
