Grado Stylus Upgrade
All will fit the Gold. You will be wasting your money replacing the Gold stylus with the 8mz stylus. You should try to find a used Grado cartridge or body from the MCZ and up. These all have a lower output ( 1.57 mv ). If you want to change the st...

Tube Amp & Speaker match
There is a pair of Spendor A5’s listed here for $995.00. I think they would be a nice match with your tube amp and small room. I have owned the A5R and found it outstanding with tubes! Here is some info!http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/94317/Spen...
