What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead?

@rooze There have been times when I thought the Steelhead might be holding me back from pure listening bliss. The culprit proved to be one mediocre pressing after another. Perhaps a present-day state of the art phono stage would have made them sound more appealing. In fact, I don't doubt it. 

I am not one for cliche's but you would have to wrest the Steelhead out of my cold dead hands for me to give it up. It is seductive and rapturous when given a decent set of grooves. As I type this I am listening to the remastered version of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" with a Reed 3P arm and Lyra Etna Lamda. Drive is a highly modded Garrard 301. I don't for a minute disbelieve that the CH Precision, various Allnic units and more deliver something that can be called "better". But if your Steelhead is holding you back than you have Fifth World problems-assuming your TT is set up optimally and assuming you have heard it with good pressings. My Steelhead is dead quiet, dead reliable, and so satisfying (to me) from every perspective. After 2000 hours I did re-tube it with tubes supplied by Manley Labs which were very reasonably priced.
