Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like you have a HUGE vinyl collection - much bigger than mine, I'm lucky if I have 1/3 as many.   

How do you like the Mytec 192 DSD DAC? That's one of the DAC's I was considering upgrading to.

Hi,
 I really like it make listening to digital great almost as good as vinyl and  I use it as a firewire audio interface for recording vinyl with a Mytek Stereo 192 ADC.If your are thinking about getting one do it you will love it.

How do you like the Jolida? Is it the upgraded version with the ESA Clarity caps?

I like the Jolida very much,I got it stone stock ordered from Jolida.net. I have modified the output capacitors with jantzen audio Superior Z-cap 800VDC 1.0uf +/_2% bypass with two 0.1uf 630VDC Russian K42Y-2 Paper in Oil Audio Capacitor  replaced all 6 opamp with  Ti OPA627AP and put bypass capacitors on all the power supply caps with 0.22uf 400VDC sprague orange drop capacitors.And I'm using Mesa/Boogie SPAX7 12AX7 tubes with all the mods, it is one fine sounding  phono preamp with the low output Denon DL304 moving coil cartridge.

Rectifier diodes? Are they high speed? If not, change them with high speed ones, the improvement in sound will be dramatic.
