This is interesting. You're the only person I've read (outside of my audiophile magazines) who runs an outboard processor. I think spending money on a processor makes more sense than spending it on a transport, amp or cabling.
I'm still thinking that a VPI turntable and a hideously expensive cartridge is in my future. Thanks for checking in on this topic.

By the way, if you're using a separate processor then you can get a cheap DVD player and use the hifi processor instead of the DVD player's buit in one for great sound. (edited) Laurent
