Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage


It seems it comes down to the Allnic T2000 30th anniversary along with the Allnic 5500 phonostage vs a Luxman 590AXII with the EQ500 phonostage.

I did own an Allnic L5000 preamp at one point and enjoyed it. I would say it's character added and subtracted little from the music source.

I don't remember ever hearing these components in shows and now with difficulties traveling, I ask this forum.

My speakers are 97db efficient open baffle design with built-in powered subwoofers.

What I've been missing it seems for years not having tube components (other than my Rogue Audio Area Magnum) is depth and layering although with my newly acquired open baffles, I'm approaching that with SS components.

Try absorbing the back wave of OBs with two comforters / blankets to find out if the depth improves.

It may be necessary to reposition the L-R speakers.

 The choice of Pre / Phono should be fun / easy choice as a matter of preference ( I think I would try the Allnic ).
