Dear @puppyt : I do love too the Dynaudio speakers and listened sevral times and different models and one of the last Dyna I heard was paired by the JC 1 amplifier: just glorious, it puts you nearer to the recording.
" To my ears the combination has provided a warmer, richer sound. "
Good that those is what you like it but live MUSIC seat at nearfield position is everything but warmer. MUSIC could be brigth or even harsh depending on the scores but not warmer.
I think that you own to many tubes in your system and that's why you are accustomed to.
Btw, each cartridge has its own signature that depending of the tonearm/wires paired that signature is modulated changing a little it own " color ".
