As for a phono stage, doesn't Ayre still offer the P5xe? It has received many excellent reviews. My 'rule-of-thumb' for phone stages is one wants to spend about the same $$ of the phone stage as they spend for a cartridge.

Glenn, very true, there are several TT/TA combo's in that range which makes it a difficult decision. The reason I'm honing in on this one is it's received
several favorable reviews. In particular, I like the similar feedback from all of the reviewers describing the sound as lots of clarity on the top end while producing low tight bass. I'm not looking for a laid back sound, I want to hear detail. Not that other combinations do not offer this either, but the technology that goes into this TT/TA taken from Rega's $45k Naiad table and the price is very attractive.
