High quality tubed phono stages are not remotely noisy and are exceptionally musical. I have used tubed phono stages (Audio Research) for the last thirty years. I would listen to a solid state contender, but my experience has show that only good quality tubed preamps and phono stages rise above the competition.
The more high quality tubed equipment I have incorporated in my system the more realistic, compelling my system has sounded, without a loss of detail. You can see a couple of my system under my UserID. I have owned and auditioned hundreds of pieces over the last fifty years.
