Bottom line, it’s a fun hobby but don’t buy equipment because Fremer gave it a good review. He gives everything a good review…as do most reviewers.

Yup, its a system with many variables that individually influence what reaches your ears.
The primary metric should be if what you hear makes you happy. I changed my phono stage because it was an entry level (and highly rated) unit for one that cost more and also highly rated. I am happier now because I hear more detail in the music.
