Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II
Intended for original post: Early model Rhea @1/2 MSRP is a great choice. It can also be sent back to update I believe? $2-3K used can get something that keeps up with next turntable/cart upgrade. Recently sold a 12 year old tube phono. Would ... 
Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II
If you want all tube phono performance the Primaluna Evo 100 is at the max of your budget. Presently using one. Competent to handle a $10k+ table/cart.  It will match up nicely with your PL. . A "final/done" piece until your ready to blow some ...

David Sanborn passed
Sad news.  "First call" level musician who played on everyone's album for decades. The big "C" unfortunately doesn't discriminate. David Sanborn dead: Saxophonist who played with Rolling Stones, David Bowie was 78 - Chicago Sun-Times (suntimes....

cundare2 rereading my post, I can see why you're confused. That's what I get for not proofreading. Should have read-"doesn't seem to agree" Most of my posts are from airport lobbies and all thumbs on my phone My experience is similar to the St... 
How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear?
Lateral move-my guess. Your present overal setup appears to be at the level where only $ignificant gear expenditure(different table/arm/cart)and drastic room overhaul will make a significant, more convincing "improvement.  I see you have PL pre/... 
You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this..
Aligning with an Italian manufacturer would seem more appropriate- Gold Note?
