recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each

the E.A.T. E-GLO PETIT tubes are power/output tubes?

stone1,

Yes, my WT had the black carbon fiber arm. I used teflon plumbers tape for the arm wrap; if you do a little searching I know others have used different materials with success. It's pretty easy to apply if you take your time.

The E-Glo uses a FET front end and the tubes are the second gain stage. Under US$1000 would be the second hand price in the U.S., but I've seen them in other countries too. Here's a recent example:

I haven’t tried phono preamps in $1000 range (was in the $300-$500 range) other than my Sutherland KC Vibe MkII. Cartridge is Hana EL. I listen to the same styles of music as you do and this combo works great. You can go higher in the Hana line to ML I’m sure it would sound amazing.

you wrote "was the Denon 103R."
so right now you are not using the WT ?

i read that the E-Glo Petit have kind of noise reduction parts.

those reductions always worry me that they also reduct part of the music.
