In general I find the performance to price ratio of these components to be very high. Time constraints prevent me from having time to fiddle much. The gear works without any fuss or muss on my part. Money, in my opinion, seems to have been spent well as my hassle is minimal and enjoyment is high.
Replaced Levinson solid state. Has a remote control to boot.

Tom Tutay Phono stage
All tube phono stage custom designed and built by Tom Tutay. Marvelous upgrade with improved bass and spatial localization of instruments. Things just sound more in tune is the best way I can describe it. Hard to believe it can do this.
