That’s a pretty solid setup. Hard to
pick out any weak link. Used to own Kensington SE and now Canterbury GR - both wonderful speakers. I’m analog centric, so I’d ask whether you have that magnetic Concept arm. It’s very sensitive to feedback/footfalls. The Townshend speaker platforms will help but maybe also consider a platform for the table. And/or upgrade to a rigid bearing arm. Also look at upgrading the cartridge if you’re on the Concept MM. And if you have MC, an outboard SUT like a Bob’s Devices Sky is reputed to handily beat the ones inside the EAR 834. I have good power here so I don’t think I observed as much of a difference from power regen/conditioning as some do.
