Any suggestion for new/used? I think that I may decide to get one eventually
(key word, eventually; see my other posting on Angelus and amplification) 
because I like the quality of the soundstage that they seem to offer, as well
as their smoothness. Of course, I wouldn't mind a good silicon amp, but
the ones that I've heard don't seem to be quite as good with these.

The quality of the phono stage is a priority.
