Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge?
Craigjacoby-Your phonostage appears to have sufficient gain to support the Ania.The Ania should be quite a step up from the exact. 
Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge?
If I had a Rega, I would just get an upper level cart at the price point of my choice.No fuss with alignment, just install and enjoy.Reviews are not the end all, but at least this gives you some insighthttps://www.whathifi.com/rega/planar-6-ania/r... 
Difference Maker!
"I can’t hear much if anything over 8K"You have great hearing. Mine fades past 7khz, along with RAGING tinnitus. Things are just a little challenging, but the music sounds the same. Hearing aids before I go deaf, are in my future. 
Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
I did not interpret the original post correctly.This is only about SQ. Diana Krall's work is typical 90's-present. Subjectively, it has what I call "CD tone" No escaping it, even on the $$$ systems. Probably just in my head, since I'm an LP devote... 
Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
Just reading the heading, I knew Diana Krall would be the subject.The good thing is she bring in a whole new audience who wouldn't think of listening to Jazz or the American Songbook.The bad thing is, seems many don't go deeper, and discover what ... 
Soundsmith Zephyr MKIII vs the Othello
You will  notice improved bass over the Otello. I have one as a backup cart. The gains in the rest of the spectrum perhaps smaller, but present.

That's a good reminder. Probably the best tweak over anything.A visit to the ENT for a hearing test is even better. You may be surprised by how well you think your hearing is or isn't.  
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
But what about the dreaded middle of the song track transfer?Air guitar solo interrupted, then a couple bars must be repeated! 
Now I get it...
Congratulations.You now have the  gear. Avoid the darkside....REISSUES!Discogs is your bible for original presses.  
i finally figuared it out this is gonna sound crazy?
Convolver impulse filter?  Muffler bearing or faulty kniffle rod-2019 manufacturer recall 
I am restoring a Stromberg AU-42 - 6L6G question
Cool looking amp.Are those chicken head knobs bakelite?Big fan of the 6l6G sound. To my ears a great compromise of the El34 mid and KT88 bass. 
Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke
Where have you been the last 10 years?This  type of "customer service" has been slowly ramping up the last 20. 
Looking for new to me Jazz music
 "I just listened to Kenny Burrell , Midnight Blue and I enjoyed it."If you liked Kenny Burell, just Wiki him and see who he has played with and explore. Endless discovery. Classical, Jazz, Rock and all their sub categories are best going backward...

Another deep thinking post with awful music.Bad 1980 MTV video memories. 
Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap?
I put a Nordost Odin2 power cable, IC's and speaker cables to my $250 1995 Harman Kardon Receiver, $150 CD player and $300 white van speakers.Blows away all the systems here, in the forum. Will post pics soon.
