Luxman Cl 38U-SE w/the matching Luxman MQ-88 amp. My local dealer had this hooked up to a pair of Klipsch La Scala’s. I had a CJ ET3 SE and traded it in for the Luxman. Art Dudley compared both these piece's to his Shindo gear. Bother rated Class A in Stereophoile. 
The E-250 is an excellent phono. In the same price range as the Parasound JC3+. But I think sounds better. Plus it has a mono switch and a cart demagnetizer. The phono in my preamp is all tube w/four step up transformers. Two for MC High and 2 for MC Low. The E-250 also has a step up transformer built in too.
