They are detailed and rich sounding with no brightness or glare. I liked the Blue Point at first but it didn't give me a vinyl sound. It reminded me of digital... and that was why I didn't keep it. One other option is the Shure V15 but it is not as tight as the Grado on the bottom end.
You could also upgrade the Phono Stage and use the Grado phono stage with the Grado cartridge. I don't know what would happen with the Blue Point/Grado Phono stage - I never got to try the two together. If you want to try this I will send you my Grado phono stage just to check it out. No charge, 15-20 days to use it and send it back. Give me a call if you want to give it a listen. All I ask for in return is your feedback here ...

Todd, thank you for the generous offer and I'd definately post the feedback. The only thing I'd say is that it's probably a little over what I want to spend on a phono amp right now but I'd love to try it. I will give you a call.
