I think I'm gonna follow Larry and save for the Glider L2. The AT440MLa just sounds strained to me now...Woodsyi, if you haven't yet...please clarify your position with Benz and give yourself a raise. heck of a salesman!!!!in all seriousness, the MC-3 is a HUGE departure from what i'm used too. is a cheap MM cartridge like using training wheels or what???
Is it safe to say that when people talk of mushy bass with tube gear, they are talking about amps specifically?

That's what I've found...vinyl or CD front end, tube amp or preamp....unless the amp or preamp has regulated power supplies. Then, and only then, tube-generated bass takes on a slam factor more akin to SS gear. It also makes the tubes quieter and contributes to longer life (for less noise long term).Some say there are downsides to the purity of the tube sound this route...I don't personally hear them. It;s just better this way, I feel. Enjoy, brother Matt
