Vexing Problem
@nonoise , Thank you for the link; I really enjoyed the engaging article. For what it's worth, when I discover music that I love when streaming I'll often seek it out on vinyl. And when we started our bakery/cafe I purchased a license from ASCAP, ...

mulveling,In your experience, would a SUT compromise dynamic range? 
Should I upgrade my phono pre??
Well, the Herron phono stage certainly has a devoted following! I’ve seen so many posts in various threads raving about the VTPH-2A that it really does make me curious. The Accuphase card generates very little self noise giving it what I think mus... 
Interesting cable experiment; surprising results....
Hey thanks guys. With my schedule, I listen to my bakery stereo much more than my main system.... so it should at least be pretty good by our standards, eh? 
Amps suggestions for ATC scm 40 mk2
My ATC's (40's but the rare HTS style) sound fabulous driven by a pair of the Red Dragon Audio M100 mk. II Monoblocks. Loads of clean power. The ATC's can really deliver with those!
