| Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature? I owned an Audible Illusions 3A many years ago and many, many preamps ago. I currently own the Modwright SWL9.0SE Signature. It's one of the best preamps I've ever owned or heard. I have never missed the AI 3A, not even once...if that helps you any? | |

| How do you listen to new music? I usually listen 2-3 times completely through. Then I will make a decision on whether to add the CD to my "regular rotation" list. | |

| ARC SP8 as Phono Stage According to the specs on the SP8, the phono input to tape output is 34db of gain. The phono input to main output is 60db of gain. So, it would depend on what the output voltage of your cartridge is. 34db is a little on the low side. | |
