James,

You asked about my phono stage.....

It’s an interesting piece. I am surprised at how on the warm side of neutral it is. It sounds great but I need to satisfy my curiosity with cartridge loading before I make any profound statements about it’s SQ. Right now, compared to my Trio, which is tubed, the Audia Flight has greater extension in the bass. Midrange is full. I wish there was a little, just a little more sparkle ( as Brian says) on top. My thinking is a different loading resistor will be in order. I think the SS could have more bloom.

The music sure does have a beauty to it now. Fremer gave it a glowing review 10 years ago, FWIW. 

BTW, loved that Osibisa lp jacket!

Been spinning some of my CD’s….gasp 😁……But, need a vinyl fix…

Joni Mitchell - Hissing of Summer Lawns. Asylum 1975

Steve, I find with my SS MIMC lo, 1K loading sounds best, to me. Peter recommends 470 min, and 1K Seems to sound best to me. If I had the option of, let’s say, 800 (which I do not), I would say that may be perfect.
