I've considered the P5 as well. I'm not sure I want to dedicate that much space to a phono stage. Dang, that thing is huge!
Imagine running all four of these babies full out in a closed space; I'd have to rebuild my listening room inside a meat locker.
Inscrutable, I'm not necessarily locked in to any one thing other than the best sound I can achieve under my budgetary constraints. I have no objection to solid state devices. In fact, I still have the VK200, several Bryston pieces and even an old Adcom GFA 585 laying around here somewhere.
Thanks again to all for the sage advice. It is helping to narrow down my choices a bit.
On another note, I think I've found the perfect tonearm for my new analog setup.
