what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO?

Have never heard the Liberty (and am extremely happy with the SimAudio Moon 5.3 with external power supply I just replaced by P75 with), but based on reviews and specs it does certainly seem worth taking a close look at. I have no problem with a manufacturer suggesting you look at his product. He makes no claims for it in this forum, and identifies himself as the manufacturer (if he hadn't done that it would be a problem in my book).

Anyway, loads of great phono stages out there. Most important is to try them in your system to see what works best in your particular rig.

I also have a simaudio Lp5.3 with outboard power supply, but I kept the GCPh for my den system. I like the easy adjustments on the GCPH for testing multiple cartridges, and with remote volume, phase and mono, I run it straight into my Nobis Contigore tube amp, bypassing any preamp. Lovely sound.

I sent my my GCPH to the Parts Connexion to be modified. What I got back was a night and day improvement. After I got bored with that, I took the next step and added a Bob's Devices Cinemag 1131 step up transformer. This again took my GCPH to another level. I have no intention of trading this in for a Chinook, XP15 or anything else in the near future.
