Then again, it could be just an additive effect as I've also heard the phono cartridge I'm using (Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III) can be prone to that sonic issue.
I am a tubes and vinyl guy. I run a viva 300b integrated with allnic phonostage and altec vintage speakers, and a rega/ortofon rig. I used to have a preamp that had 4 12ax7 and 2 12au7's in it and when I replaced the au7's with some vintage mullard CV4003 it made all the difference in the world. Smoothed everything right out. IIRC the vincent features this tube. Try it it will run you about $150 on tube world
