Thanks for the response tru blu.

Well - I can clearly say that this is hands-down the best built in phono-stage I've ever heard in a sub-$1000 integrated amp. Well besting the Musical Fidelity, Creek, and Cambridge integrated phono-stages I've run in the past.

The amp sounds wonderful - I'm spinning an original copy of Rush's "Fly by Night" and it sounds great. Damn close to my reference system! I'm having to run it through some Energy Connoisseur C-3's I had sitting around right now until my NHT Classic Three's arrive next week.

What turntable did you buy?
