Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2

Thank you for all of the suggestions. The Gold Note was initially my top choice but since I am not familiar with a lot of the Phono Preamp companies out there I’m ok with other suggestions. SPL has now picked up my interest but I hope to receive more information from the folks with experience on Gold Note and Whest. Thanks.

Search audiogon, one of our members became a whest fan after gold note, the whest is more expensive. The goal of Gold Note is usability (one rotary knob to control everything on a display) and flexibility (so many different settings). Also two independent inputs that can me MM + MM, MM + MC, MC + MC. The phono stage will remember your settings for each input (type, gain, loading, curves ...). 

@chakster  I really appreciate the information on the actual experience that you have given me with the Gold Note PH-10 and that is exactly what I was hoping for when I started this thread. The Gold Note has three features that I like. Front panel control as you stated, the 470 Ohm impedance selection that a number of other phono preamps don't have, and the balanced outputs are a plus. Most of all is the SQ that can be produced through the preamp and that is what I can only get from the people that post on the thread. Audiogon is a great resource for getting actual user information. 

Agree the GN is so flexible that if and when you change cartridges it will be able to match just about anything out there. And yes the SQ is great not as fine as a NVO I use as well but the NVO is much more $$$$
 

Obviously, Chakster you didn't read the entire opening thread of the OP. BESIDES the Gold Note and Whest, he said he was open to suggestions on other phono preamps too. Maybe you should pull out all your recommendations on ancient outdated cartridges for the OP also....
