Van Den Hul Grail Vs Grail SE

Thanks acman! Wow!  Interesting response. 1%??? You think the post was supposed to impress?  Sad response on a number of levels. Maybe you like soup from can? Like to buy expired meats? Don't know, or care. Some people have higher end gear, it wasn't meant in any other fashion other than seeking out a legit comparison?  Roberjerman, what phono pre would you recommend to pair with my Emm Labs DV2, REF PRE, JA Pearl 20/20s? With your vast knowledge perhaps you have a suggestion? Chord, Emotiva?? Or just get a TT with a built in pre? What a joke...

Dear @jakesnak : When an audiophile, as you, is looking for that kind of quality level in a phono stage means that owns " thousands " ( or at least hundreds. ) of LPs and 1-2 top LOMC cartridges along TT and tonearm in the same league.

The Grail is a very good stand alone unit and in its price range and quality exist other alternatives that maybe you would like to look for.

Which your analog rig including the phono stage in use and your MUSIC/sound reproduction priorities? if you disclose it we can give you a better advises.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R. 

I will stand with jackesnac- anyone done the demo of this phono stage ?
