great post and a lot has to do w/ two gain stages (phono and line) but your hints and recs are right on. Thanks for helping make AA as good as it is. Perhaps too he has a modern very sensitive high z in power amp that can make noise floors easier to hear. I don't know the gain of that pre, couldn't find it but when my 27db gain CJ was plugged into a modern sensitive power amp it was noisier than I'd like.

When I went to a passive linestage I got a 3/12AX7 phono pre w/tube regulation and passive/switchable EQ and used a high output Grado and that was really noise free, the quietest phono rig I ever had.
