@tomic601 No mono cartridge. I'm just not that serious an audiophile. Plays great with the Decca nail.

Roy Harper ‎- The Unknown Soldier (Harvest 1980)Original pressing blows away the CD. It's got that lovely blackness and finest cymbal metalloc sheen. Great album.

Thinking to replace my phono
If you don't like black tubes, NOS Telefunken ECC83/12AX7 (smooth plates) will bring refinement with more detail, transparency and air and spaciousness and remove the chromy glare of those 803S JJs.

Replace the 4 JJs in your Zesto with Shanghung 12AX7LPS black from Grant Fidelity. Give them 20 hours to burn in. Different league from the bright and fizzy JJs.

millercarbon  in your opinion what is the weakest component in my setup? Uh oh... 
Sorbothane record weight?
Why don't you try it yourself? Worst it can do is slow it down if the platter drive is too weak. If it sounds better, then use it. I don't think it will though.

Traffic ‎- Mr. Fantasy (Island 1967 mono)I do love this album. I've had it since I was in school. I see it's become a bit of a collector's item.

Bessie Jones ‎- So Glad I'm Here (Rounder 1975)Voice only, deep South gospel tunes recorded in a church with Bessie, baritone dudes and kids. Captivating.

Joe Turner - The Boss Of The Blues Sings Kansas City Jazz (Atlantic 1959)Great album. Silly left/right stereo version still maintains spacious stage with the drum kit especially airy.  
Badly recorded albums needing upgrading
+1 @Ozzy 
45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s
Yes. Same article but hardly a problem to do for such a great tube.
