Dear Pani
If its not too late for your purchase, give a chance to :
Audion silver night (300B push-pull 24w)
Side by side is way better than the amp you mention and miles ahead than Cary 845 anv.
Speakers under test was Tannoy GRF
Proceed to change all the signal caps with Russian PIO (K-40Y)
and ask for review the Physic Harmonic speaker cables. (Andreas Pollakis Facebook)
PS: Way better with no preamp at all, as Audion have a carbon pot as attenuator.
You only need a selector for the source of choice.
Be aware that tube preamps tend to steal transparency from the big Tannoy woofers.
Valve phono is a very tough question.
Regards
