Stand out phono stages


This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.

The ALLIC H3000 and new H3000V even better,used to test our turntables. Natural, perfect toneality, fast and dynamic and extremely reliable with 2 MM and 2MC inputs for maximum flexibility and running 4 tables is nice.
Adjustable for all cartridges MM or MC.

Nothing worse than a shameless manufacturer shilling his own product and then also endorsing a product he sells without a disclosure.

Real canadian bacon.
I do not sell ALLNIC Bill - Hammertone does I am just a user of the products!

I would like some one to stop this individual and the like from ruining Audiogon forums.

Is there anyone listening?

Does any one else agree?
I recently (3 months ago) bought the new Doge "Clarity" preamp which has it's own phono section. I use the MM section coupled to a Ypsilon SUT. To me this is a ourstanding phono section. Very quiet with great prat, dynamics and nuance. Indeed the SUT costs more than the preamp, but vinyl front ends are always dear.
I also had the chance to listen to the Ypsilon phono pre through the Doge linestage (even better than the onboard phono). The Ypsilon is in a league of it's own but I really believe a big part of it's strength is the SUT. The main difference I experienced was the lowest sound floor I have EVER experienced! This is not a small point. It is a truly superior product,albeit a very expensive one.
If anyone is looking for a top notch SUT, the Ypsilon should be considered.

Ttweights, Audiofeil is just keeping you on your toes. Don't take it personal.
