How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make?
Rogue Ares is no slouch, check it out.  
Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp?
I would talk with Keith as well. I have a handful of loading resistors I'd be happy to let you borrow, just let me know. ^ The VTPH-2A is a keeper for life!  
Update: Still Audio EL84 Integrated and three speaker pairings
I happily lived with the Nola boxers for four years, they are excellent and love tubes. They will most likely open up to your likening even more. However, once I paired my el84 set with omegas, it was all over but the shouting. They don't do the d...

Still Audio EL84 Integrated Amplifier - my initial impressions
Happy new year! You bought the El84 amp 😊 now do yourself a favor and speak with Louis at Omega. His speakers are so involving and transparent with low powered set amps, it's mind-blowing.  
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
like preston suggested, check out Decware!

Buy 12ax7 tube
^^^Svetlana 12AX7 - For several years the original Svetlana 12AX7 tube from St. Petersburg (Winged "C"/SED) tried to develop a good 12AX7 and mostly failed. The current production Svetlana is a New Sensor product and is a member of 12AX7-EH and Tu... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
Don't discount these for new production. They have bested a lot of NOS in my phono preSVETLANA 12AX7  
Ortofon Quintet Black vs 2M Black?
I have a similar setup (Vpi/Herron/20x2L) so my vote would be for the 20X2L.I've never heard the Quintet Black.  
How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp?
Gold Lions sound really good to my ears. They should last a good longtime in the Rogue 
Efficient bookshelf speakers for my new (and amazing!) Still Audio EL84 integrated
I am so jealous of your amp. I highly recommend Omega Speakers with an el84 Set amp, magical. And I think Mark may recommend them. Very happy with my Decware but if I ever switch, that’s the amp. 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
^^^ it sounded so freaking good! I spun Van Morrisson "The Prophet Speaks." I am really digging this album. And the Analogue Productions  "Tea for the Tillerman." Originally when I TC'd the interconnects, power outlet, and speaker cables, installe... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
I went to work like Picasso today and TC’d all my tubes: preamp, phono pre, and amplifier, (13 total). Went a little thick on the 6sn7 pins cause I could smell TC cooking in the pre, no harm done👍Popped off the cover to the fuse panel, multimeter ...
