I'm interested in cost/results, not indulging hobbyist tinkerers

I would never remotely have considered any Tom Evans product.

When I first became interested in "hi-fi" 50+ years ago, the ostensible reason was to achieve high fidelity, (accurate), sound. My experience since then has demonstrated to my ears that contemporary high-accuracy equipment sounds the best.

If SOTA accuracy is what you want you can get a phono preamp or preamp for ~$1000 and an amp for ~$2000-$3000. Once you get into delusional euphonics rather than accuracy, there is not limit.

As far as phono preamps go, I bought my last vinyl disc about 30 year ago; I last listened to a LP perhaps 15 years ago. Vinyl is very far from SOTA hi-fi sound today.
