Mike 101db speakers with 500 wpc ss amp doesn't seem like an ideal match!!! I like my amps to work harder than that, the MC-2500 won't even have to get out of bed. I would give some weight to Swampwalkers "upstream ..." comment, if it proves true it might = new amp, new preamp, new cable, new cart etc..etc.
Also Pdreher I'm sure can give you some very good observations/advice as he has gone from Dyn C-4's to the Harbeth 40.1's with the same system, plus he's using a SS amp.
