I have had the sutherland 20/20 for a few years and the optional liner power supply for about a year.
it supplies more than enough drive and dynamics and sounds amazing.
ran it with an Ortofon Cadenza Blue .5mv and the sound was nearly as dynamic as my Marantz SA8005 SACD player which is incredibly dynamic.
More recently the 20/20 really showed its mettle by cleanly powering a new Audio Technica ART9XA at 0.2mv running 64db.
refined, dynamic, noise free and squeaky clean colorful sound.
the myths of the Sutherland pres lacking dynamics are not true, possibly stemming from the early battery powered units.
They do accentuate the high top end a little by virtue of an RIAA curve that compensates for the mother cutting head. the result is extended top end that makes vinyl sound equally clear and detailed as the best digital sources. most preamps give vinyl a rolled off sound.
the 20/20 with LPS for clear, clean dynamic sound.
