Did you compare the sound with the JC 3 phono stage with that of the P-5xe when used with the KX-5 Twenty? I'm using the JC 3 with a JC 2 BP and JC 1 monoblocks, but a in few years I expect to downsize to a single stereo setup based on KX-5 and KV-5 Twenties, and wondered if I should replace the JC 3 with a P-5xe. My turntable is a Thorens 124 with SME III arm and Ortofon 30H cartridge -- I'm not a vinyl guy, but I've always lusted for a 124 and SME and they do sound damn fine.
