Wow that viola sounds just like a violin!  
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Agree with @soundsrealaudio that it was a Bricasti amp but the qualifier is the speakers and amp have to be synergistic.

@teeshot nice comparison and glad you like the Christine. I'm very close to pulling the plug on one myself that's listed on the Asylum but have to sell something first.

A21 vs McCormack?
McCormack for sure.

I would hope they tweaked them after Axpona. When heard then they did NOTHING for me....zero involvement. Imagining was poor, tonally way off. Hope they have changed drastically. 
Phono stage for my system?
Yes no clear choice but I'll 3rd the Gold Note PH10. So very versatile as others have pointed out. 
Turntable/Tonearm choices
Just my 2cents I’d go with anything Kuzma. Love mine and several friends use different Kuzma’s and we all love them.

Impact of phase inversion by preamp
25 or 30 years ago Clark Johnson wrote about polarity in a book titled THE WOOD EFFECT.If I recall it had listed many LPs and what polarity they were recorded in. This came out before CDs. 
Does Goldnote have any US online dealers?
I bought a P1000 pre and the PH10 from Sounds Of Silence. (NH) Sometimes they have stock but if not they get items in fairly quickly from my experience.
