Thanks Bifwynne, I am sure the ph7 is a step up but I have lost my appetite to move up the ARC line - can't buy into the constant churning of new and improved... 
Help my Thiels broke - not sure what to do
You can do it - go to youtube and see several demonstrations. You will be surprised how easy it is. I have soldered speakers and cartridge leads and I am a hack!

I bought the ph 5 from a dealer when I got back into vinyl and damn if the ph 7 didn't come out within a couple of months - although 4k higher, thanks Bifwynne for reminding me about the ph8 - I had forgotten that one!

$5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp
Great suggestions so far - consider a dehavilland Ultra verve - and save some money. Changed my system completely and made me realize how important the line stage is in the chain.

David - dive into analog - you will be glad you did!
