With respect to your 7581A are they NOS or new production? And what brand?

Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers
Thanks for everyones' input.  In the end I demoed a Leben RS 30eq and found it perfect for my system.  I think in part it works well with my Leben CS600.  In any event, its a keeper. Appreciate your insights!

No worries.  Thanks for the clarification! Do you think the Hagerman competes with phono stages in the 3-5 K price range?

Two things: I am pretty sure Kara DeHavilland is happily retired and that she did not make a straight phono stage (unfortunately ). Are the Darlington Labs phono stages "tubey" or warm sounding?  
Hagerman Trumpet MC review
Question for the tube rollers. Do the 12 AX7's need a match quad?  or just a two matched pairs? The 12ax7's are getting a bit pricey

Some reviewers have noted that they could not distinguish the Manley Oasis from a solid state phono stage.  Leads to the question as to whether the Manley gear have the "tube sound" some seek?
