What To Do?

Thanks.  What phono preamp and interconnects are you using?

I’m using the phono preamp built into my McIntosh C2700. I was considering a Vincent Audio PHO-701 Phonostage until I decided to go with the C2700. I really wanted a tube phonstage. My turntable interconnects are supplied by Origin Live for the tonearm. The rest of my system interconnects are all Synergistic Research Foundation cables.

Phonostage of your liking  (test several)

The remainder into a VPI table with a gimballed arm.

I am getting great results with a Pro-ject Carbon 10 EVO. $5k. Sound Smith The Voice moving iron cartridge at $2.2k. Aric Audio phono pre. $2k with vintage tubes from Brent Jessee. The JJ stock tubes are not great. 
Make sure that your turntable arm the phono cartridge have a resonance match. Watch the sound Smith Videos. 

Thanks for the advice.  I've got a lot of listening to do.
