I appreciate the offer to audition the EAR324P. I may just take you up on it.

Yep, the built in McPhono is no slouch. I think you will be very impressed with the EAR324P though. My preference is for tubed phono stages having experienced the Shindo with SUT and the REF2 phono but.... The EAR324P comes awfully close and in combination with a decent tubed preamp.... It simply rocks and may very well knock your socks off with its bass and tube like liquidity.
I've enjoyed it tremendously for the past few years. Here is a primer in case you haven't seen this review:

By the way, no obligations on your part whatsoever.... I simply want to share the EAR with you so you can come to your own conclusions and have another frame of reference.
