Stand out phono stages

This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.

It would be informative if Paypet could elaborate some more about his phono stage experiences. Specifically what other phono stages has he owned and in what areas does the Wytech supass the others he has used?

I have seen and heard the upper Wytech amps and pre at the SSI a few years ago, but it was with an SACD player, no vinyl.

The phono stages would no doubt be of the same fine quality, but I assume they are relatively rare in the marketplace and I don't know if Wytech is back in business,so perhaps there are only a few of them out there.

But is it really the best,there was/is/or ever shall be?
And as the old song goes_"Compared to what?".
