eag618,
Thanks. Picture taken right next door in Oregon. Yes, I talked to Allen before buying the amp and afterwards about recommended tubes very knowledgeable and helpful. I also talked to Jarred - I think he has taken over the business - also very helpful. I have not personally used the equipment you are considering but have read many comments particularly on the JD-9 Phono stage generally favorable also lots of threads on mods to that stage if one is so inclined.
