Gyneguy how about 350 then?😁😇. Your a wise man for keeping it. I also have a Lyra helikon but the 7000 was a better match for my et as it had lower compliance. And yes I could see that the kleos may not be much of an improvement.

Oh Raul, how wrong and misguided can one person be??  Ss should only be used in power supplies. Please don't be contaminating other members with vile crap such as that which you have been spewing. Some people are impressionable.

I had the Delos for a lot of years and while it is a great cartridge it has a bit of a mid bass bump that constantly annoyed me.  On a lean sounding system it may be a good thing though. It comes down to system synergy.   I preferred my helicon to... 
Which pre should I choose?

Which pre should I choose?
Vintage gear does not "need repair constantly ". In fact it is probably better made than most modern units.  As long as any electrolytic caps are replaced you should be good to go.  
Anticables: Scam?
Paying $600 for interconnects! Of course it's a scam!!  Use the $ 20 ones, they will likely sound the same. 
How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil?
 No I spoke with Keith herron himself who told me that. I have done it multiple times to no ill effect.

 With the Herron  you have the added advantage of being able to easily switch from 64 to 69 Db of gain just by swapping out two tubes.  And I've not heard a phonostage that I like the sounds of better yet. It's one of those things that you may not...
