I took a punt on upgrading the phono stage in my system from the one built in to the preamp and I was really happy with the result. Bought it on Amazon so I could return it easily if it didn’t make an improvement but that’s definitely not happening.
I have to admit I don’t know, I’ve never played with changing tubes despite having several bits of valve equipment. I do like running it with lots of gain from the phono stage and less on the power amplifier, it gets noticeably more psychedelic.
