I have a set of NOS RCA 5751, black plate, triple micas on the way. Can't wait to try them out.

There they were.
At first, they sounded kinda crappy, and I wasn't happy at all. Then, I remembered the 5751 is a low gain tube and I had the phono pre set to run 12ax7 which is a high gain tube. So, I rolled it over and bumped the gain up a notch.
Now, THAT'S more like it!

Cool album, Dave. Which phono pre are you using?
