I got tired of messing with my Little Bear preamp and went and bought their MP-P1 Tube Phono Preamp. I took the GL12AX7s out and stuck them in the new Preamp. While i was at it i changed out my audio-technica at-lp120-usb cart to a AT120EB. I had already bypassed the preamp section inside. After testing tubes i have settled on Tung-Sol 6L6G's and Sylvania 6Sj7WGT's.
The GL KT88's and RCA 5693 sounded way too high and tinny for my ears.
The Preamp sounds worlds better, the new cartridge for my TT sounds way better so now its a whole new setup of tubes for the amp. The more its breaking in the better its sounding.
I dont have those really piercing highs and my midrange really opened up. Bass is quicker too.
