This gear sounds so good it may not need any tweaks but what the heck. 

Any advice for...

*tube upgrades?
*power cord upgrades?
*isolation tweaks?

What's the biggest bang for the buck?

Too many sticky posts.  No one responding to my thread.

you could get a nice 5AR4 mullard rectifier, and some better 5687s
a decent power chord would be a good idea too

Sorry, need to clean out my sticky posts.

Agreed about rectifier tube and better power cord.

Will also respond well to good vibration isolation!

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks Dan and DigiPete.  I added some Vibrapod pucks.  A low cost isolation and it seems to be making a difference.  Is there a specific brand/product you recommend for isolation?

I put a Gutwire B-16 ac cord on it which also helped but I may upgrade to a Lessloss soon if funds allow.

It seems this product is no longer on the website.  Is there a new phono pre about to be introduced?

A friend of mine tried the Vibrapods and he got an improvement, but was not happy about the gunk it seeps out underneath it and left a circle on his shelf.  Messy stuff.  I'd recommend putting something thin like plastic or cardboard in between the pod and the shelf to keep things tiddy.

I tried several power cords on my 9.0 and found the Pangea AC-9 worked really well.

I thought about trying the Pangea cords but I think I'm going with the Shunyata Venom3.

The vibrapods have really made a nice difference.  I'm kinda surprised actually.  I love this phono stage.

What kind of difference did you notice with the vibrapods?
