mulveling, Thanks.
With the preamp, maybe, but using the Supex step-up transformer into the PS Audio, I never had reason to question it. Now, maybe, but replacing the Bryston, which is the original generation 3b from the early 80's, would still be first on the list as far as electronics go. There was much better available even 15 years ago when I had to put the system into storage, where trying new preamps back then really didn't give me a burning feeling I needed to upgrade. Maybe after I get other things sorted out.
I never really looked back once I got the TNT, but I thought maybe enough time had passed that there might be something out there worth looking at today.
Yes, the Supex cartridge is exceptional. When I bought it, I was running a Lyra Lydian. I did some listening back and forth between the two, and the Supex stayed on the table until I had to store it. I hope it still has the magic, I'll find out in a couple of weeks when I get my arm back from ET.
