Just to my curiosity , What is the minimum starting price for a Lyrita Tube Amp and Lyrita Floor Standing speaker ( Pair ) ?
You can go through the catalog here Lyrita Audio. Email Viren Bakhshi on the contact page for prices and other details.
Good to see the upgrade worked out well Prem.
Also I would not recommend tinkering with such an expensive turntable. But if it has normal ordinary potentiometer to control the output from preamp a sure improvement would be to bypass it with fixed output, (like putting a resistor etc.) Maybe gurus would chip in. or am I missing something here ?

This is interesting, It is always good to have maximum power transfer in different stages.

Prem,
Writing in the forum after a long time. In the meanwhile I was traveling, busy with new responsibilities at work, and any spare time was completely taken up by the work at our new apartment which is near complete now (this Saturday we are having the Puja).
Very glad to know that you are finding your new amp to your liking. Output transformers are the lifeline of any tube amp (unless it is an output-transformer-less or OTL design like the Berning amps) and now have been addressed in your amp. In addition, the pre-section is another very important element of any pre-power or integrated amp, and you have addressed that too going basically the passive way through a high quality volume control. The pre section of the Rethm Gaanam amp (the one that you had previously, and I heard at your place was not the best, I heard the same but separately boxed pre-amp at Pratim's place when Jacob sent him one for trial).
Congratulations to you for trying out these improvements and then sharing with us the findings. Congratulations to Viren as well for the total implementation. I know these upgradations are expensive and everyone cannot afford them, but there may be cheaper alternatives which may produce nearly the same results.
My son just came back from U of Chicago where he has been for an internship for the last 3 months. He brought with him a few vacuum tubes for me which I bought and got delivered to his address in the US. If I find the time, I will try to give my impressions on the current tube rolling in my long-hybernating amp thread, although the tubes would perhaps need a few more hours to settle in.
Regards.

great to hear that Asit. are these the reflectors ?
Nice to hear from you Asit. Which tubes did your son get?
Thanks Hiten and Himadri. No i am not planning to tinker with my EMT 938. At some point i may replace the entire phonostage with another one.
At this point one area where i am looking at alternatives is the interconnects. Will try the Rethm interconnects as well as the Ocellia Silver Reference interconnects.

Congrats Prem! I will be knocking on your door sometime to have a listen!
Would be nice to see some pictures of your setup if you can?!
Cheers!

Utterly beautiful work and interest from both Viren and prem. This would probably one of the rarest beasts out there many years from now 
Finally the amps have kind of broken in. Probably another 10 hrs should do it. With the break in have moved back to an all liveline cabling-powercords, interconnects and speaker cable. Once the break in is complete will start with room treatment with Acoustic System resonators. Have also ordered Vampire pure copper with gold plating rca jacks for the power amp and the vol control. So that kind of now completes all my upgrades for the time being.
Prem, your amps must be sounding great. Care to elaborate on what has changed since my visit to your place.
Those Franck Tchang Acoustic Resonators are something else. I was poking around and I found out about the HighEnd Novum PMR.

Congratulations on your upgrades. You are the torchbearer for Homegrown Hi-Fi :clapping:. Will be looking forward to you feedback on the resonators. Mulling on getting these for my room as well.
Cheers,

When you heard the system at my place, it was sounding very restricted and held back. Now its opened up considerably. Its a very different sound. Much more life like and dynamic and abundance of details.
@sidvee
I have had the resonators for more than 3 years. I was waiting for the amp to break in to get the final placement right. So i am pretty familiar with what they do.
I have gone in for a speaker upgrade. Will be going for the new Rethm Saadhanas. Hopefully my last upgrade for the next few years
