Guys..thanks for pitching in,really, but the 'little light bulb' just turned on ! Seeing that I really only listen to vinyl and always have (aside from a year or so way back in the mid 80`s).It seems to me that I can use the Lightspeed and simply ... 
Looking for a Nice Simple Good Sounding Preamp...
Thanks Yogiboy but I`m not looking for a full function preamp like the Perseus, in fact I`m watching diligently for a nice used Rogue Ares phono stage to pop up.Marakanetz, I don`t think that would work as it doesn`t appear to have inputs for a CD...
