Thank you for the photos of device internals! The first is for the turntable and the second for the tube amplifier I suppose?

Nobody ever finishes with hi-fi. Upgrade-itis will set in!

First is the preamp. Second is one of the poweramps. 👍

Does the preamp include a phono stage? The circuitry looks extensive.
