Will take a while to sort that out, and I just shelled out a bunch for the TT rig. For the time being, I think the RCA passive pre-amp/switch will be the least painful. Not sure which route I would want to go re SS vs tubes, and digital in/out/DAC/ADC considerations. I might lean towards something tuby, needs to have some digital capabilities, and I certainly will want to listen to them, won't buy them from specs.
