Jgiacalo...I will look in to the Walker SST as I am really trying to lower the noise floor on the MC phono section.
Rodman...where are you getting the tested and guaranteed Telefunkens from? I don't necessarily need added warmth--a more detailed/precise tube is preferred. I mostly want dead quiet! What benefits do you hear from using the SST or Xtream?
BTW--I am using VPI Aries 3 with Lyra Argo i cartridge and XLO Reference3 phono cable--if that helps any.
