You might also want to look for specific cartridges that provide the sound quality you desire. Matching the right cartridge to the right phono stage might give you exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I can't help you because I prefer natural, transparent sound. Then, I concentrate on playing high quality recordings rather than trying to mask and gloss over poor recordings.
To each his own!

John, your approach discounts a majority of recordings, does it not? I'm not going to stop listening to my favorite music because it's not well-recorded or discount potential new favorites based on recording quality.
Well-recorded LPs are a thing of beauty but, at the end of the day, they are exponentially outnumbered by poor recordings. I'll take a system that helps to salvage those poor recordings all day long.
We all approach this hobby in our own way. I choose to discount a majority of recordings. So be it! There are way more high quality recordings than I'd ever be able to listen to in several lifetimes. Therefore, I choose accuracy and transparency in my audio system.
Good luck,
John Elison
Again, just looking for phono preamp recommendations. And let the record show, no pun intended, that the Grado Platinum has the reputation for sounding warm, rich, and thick, for some odd reason, but in reality is quite airy and detailed.
