FWIW, my vinyl rig is as follows:
* VPI Classic I turntable with mods (JMW-10 3D arm, VTA on the fly base, periphery ring, stainless weight), sitting on a Symposium Segue ISO.
* VAS Nova HW special MC cartridge (currently installed. I also have a Soundsmith Paua and Carmen)
* Manley Chinook phono preamp (with Amperex 7308 in the first gain stage, Genalex Gold Lions in the other), sitting on Symposium Roller Blocks
* Bob's Devices Sky 20 SUT
* Sweetvinyl SC-1 mini (for those albums that don't clean up well and still have ticks/pops)
* Audiosensibility Impact cables.
Feeds into Anthem MRX720, with Sierra Raal Towers for FL/FR, driven by Rogue Atlas Magnum II tube amp. I usually also use my subs (2xE15 Rythmiks) with vinyl.
I really like the Rogue amp for vinyl. One day, I may try a D-Sonic Class D amp (although there have been posts that class D may not be the best for speakers with RAAL tweeters).
