Phono Preamps with "balls" ?

taking the cue from another thread about speakers with "balls" - what are some phono preamps that you have found to be the most powerful, dynamic and yet still sound clean.  
i turn on my digital sources and they are often much more robust sounding and would like to know if there are phono preamps that can deliver.  thanks in advance

I really liked the Zesto Andros 1.2. Check it out. Available in both male and female versions......

I don't know about the 12 but the ones I'm refering to were the MAT02 and 03 that were the ones that Levinson used. Probably out of production. Btw, AD had those devices in " space grade " specs.

@avanti1960 I’m curious as to what you find out and direction you go. I too am looking for a possible upgrade in the phono pre area. I like the Lehmann, especially for the price, but like you find it lacking at times.

What's your amp and speakers?

I get a perfect match with my AT-120eb and my Audio Research SP8, very dynamic and natural sounding. Next up is a Denon DL-103 with my SUT. All this great sound on a restored Pioneer Pl-41D belt drive. Sounds very musical. I love that ARC SP8, it's the best addition I ever made to my system.
