The only thing I think you personally can do now to improve things is to get a GAT preamp.

I do want either a GAT or NHB-18NS.

So, you're off the merry-go-round as far as speakers go.

Absolutely!

As for the amps, will the 911 monos better the Dart? I don't know...

Different yes, but better in absolute terms may be a tougher call.

The only thing I would do that you're not presently considering is add a first-class turntable.

Don't you think that the Dart preamp could be a better match than the GAT with the NHB ?

Jerome,

I think either would be fine and sound as good in slightly different ways. I do think the 077 is a great match to the Dart amp. I just wonder what other "flavor" I will hear with the GAT or Dart preamp.
