Dave,
I have had my Torri MKII for about a month and a half now, and like you, I have really been enjoying it. Probably have about 125 hours or so on it. Unlike you, I also splurged and purchased the HDT speakers and the ZP3 phono stage prior to purchasing the Torrii. I was just considering the Torrii for a future purchase when Steve offered his summer special.
I can't answer to you current speakers and phono stage, but I just wanted to let you know that ZP3 is an incredible phono stage tied directly to the Torrii. I have more available volume/power than I will ever need. IF the two inputs available on the Torrii are all you think that you will ever need, I would recommend just purchasing the ZP3 inlieu of the preamp. Just a side note, I use a high output MM by Goldring with my table. If you are using a MC cartridge with your table, you will probably have to step the gain up even more. However, I stress that I am not familiar with MC cartridges, so I may be off base here. The only down side is that it looks like you might not be able to spend the money on the ZP3 at this point (very similiar in price to the CSP2).
At any rate, glad that you are enjoying the Torrii.
