Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think?

Swampwalker,

I am going to use Dynavector Moving Coil: 20XH, 20X Medium from VPI, and a Denon DL-S1. I listen to Jazz, R&B, some Rock, and Reggae music; therefore I am looking for some bsss from those phono stages I mentioned.

Any of the phonostages you mentioned would be overkill for your cartridges.

How about the Dynavector P75 phono?

What don't you like about your current Modwright tube Phono Stage?
It certainly looks like an impressive piece of kit and has some nice reviews.
If it's bass that you're not happy with, have you tried the rectifier tube swap that Greg Weaver did in his positive feedback review?

For bass tightness and impact, I expect a SS phono will have the edge over a tube unit. Personally I find tubes to reproduce musical textures more realistically. Be careful not to 'throw baby out with the bathwater' - been there, done that.

The other thing I've found with SS phono pre amps is that they are better dynamically but seem to operate in 2D more than the 3D sound that I think you get with tubes. When I've hooked up even a pretty high cost SS, I always seem to lose depth in the sound stage.
