Why no Spectral phono stage?

I am a 20yr Spectral owner. Know of ack and WBF. Waited (6) months to receive my 30 SV preamp. Absolutely stunning performance for (7) days. Then the protection circuits locked up.
 I tried every recommendation that Alan Goodwin suggested (A standup Guy) sent 30SV back to factory for an expedited trip.

The 30SV would not play nice with my Manley Steelhead. Used my Pass Xono; same outcome.

 I have heard from the Spectral website, Alan Goodwin and acks comments that the new phonostage was coming.

 I waited for a Decade !!!

My last conversation with someone in the know stating it would arrive in April 2017.

Where is it??????

 I just plain got tired of waiting and have moved on. Alan Goodwin lost a 44K sale; Spectral lost a 20yr loyal customer.

For me; Vinyl, Tubes, Class A, and Room Acoustics Rule.

After reading the reviews, I acquired a Spectral DMC 6. I am most satisfied. Try to find one. It is a wonderful preamp with a sensational  phono section.

Ctiphd. I appreciate you want a phono pre upgrade. FWIW, as a Spectral owner with fussy ears (classical,jazz, solo instruments) I have found a significant, across the board improvement by adding an Equitech 2Q to my system. If you can audition one you might be pleasantly surprised. Regards, Pete
