How about answering my question ? When did you start your hifi journey ? Do you listen with vintage discs ?
I am happy that you enjoy your modern stereo choices. Remember that your enjoyment factor is not any better than anyone else's...even the many, many thousands of us that listen with feedback EQ phono stages...Concerning your "night and day" consider that your night is someone else's day...this hobby has no right and wrong...Happy Listening !

I'm not going to derail this thread, as you seem more interested in me personally instead of the actual question at hand.
Yes, prefer equipment without a lot of negative feedback. If you like equipment with a lot of negative feedback, that's OK too.
I have to agree with Interstage. The Marantz 7 is just plain magical sounding. It may not measure the best, but for LP playback its tough to beat. and for low output MC Carts, use a Cotter step up and feed that into the 7 phono stage.
Getting back to the original posters Q, that is a tough call. Everything I have heard does not approach the Marantz 7.
for 2500 or under I would looking at the AI modulus 3A. Very nice sounding, but still not sonically the same as a 7.
happy listening
