Correction, I have 1976 Cornwalls (I just learned). I'm planning on buying Bob Crites drop in replacements for the tweeters and crossover (mine is the standard Type B), then I might tinker around with the old ones to see what can be done.

I listen to vinyl on a Thorens 160/SME3009mk2/Shure V15 mkV amplified by the phono section of an MFA Magus outfitted with TungSol 5751s. The tuner puts out a much fuller sound than the phono... it would be nice for both to be on more equal footing. I would describe the phono as thin and lean. By comparison, an all vintage set up using a upgraded Scott 222a integrated produced a huge sound stage with great depth and calrity, but would get muddled up in more complex passages and didn't sound as tonally accurate across the board as the current set up. It would be nice to recapture the sound stage of the Scott to some extent... the music does sound quite nice right now.

I would like to tube roll in the phono, but I can't see that making a huge difference.

I've got one of those AT 440 carts on order to improve the sound stage without giving up too much tracking and tonality, but I'm not giving up on the Shure cart either, it's a benchmark after all.

Any further ideas?
