Phono Stage in LUXMAN - CL-38uC

JPerry,  That’s great intel.  Thank you for taking a few moments to explain this background you have with this preamp. 
The phono preamp sounds competitive. 

@jperry ,  So I was reading up on your Aesthetix Rhea. That is a phono pre that could even replace my beloved Manley Chinook.  That sonic signature (from what I am reading) is up my alley.  It makes me think I wouldn't be let down by the Luxman.  Thank you Sir.

You are welcome. If you look at my system you will see that the TT setup requires a very good phono stage to show its capabilities. 

I looked at your system, and noticed we have have a cartridge in common. I have a Kiseki Purpleheart (Sapphire) in my cartridge stable. Nice cartridge.

Wishing you the best in your search.

@jperry , Your system is fantastic!  

I'm thinking we'd have a lot in common as I noticed bottles of Weller and Kirkland bourbon in your closet! :)
