I just came across this post.... very informative.... I'm very close to purchasing a used Dialouge Premium HP or a new EVO 300... my question is how did you find the Vincent Phono Stage paired up with your EVO 400? I'm told that the Phono Stage option with the EVO line is so so and one can do better... I've been looking at the Vincent for a while but not sure being both tube based they may clash somehow ?
