As Alan says, "you are not really going to get an answer to your question." It is a little frustrating to learn that there doesn't seem to be a way to identify, in advance, whether a component has the sound-reproducing quality to "match up" with other components in one's system. It seems that the only way to determine if a component is suitable is to find one, take it home, and listen. Then if it doesn't meet the need, sell it on.
I suppose that is why Audio Forums exist, to enable people to experiment and then advise others if they like the component - in their system, room, brains - or not.
I would have thought that, after a half-century or so of development, there would be some way to determine if one component - versus another - allowed a better reproduction of music. Oh well, I guess I'll never know the answer as to what is a good, better, best phono stage.
