EAR 88pb, Opinions?

I've tried the Vinyl reference in my system and found it to be slow, lacked bass responce and smeared the images. I acually found the little Sim Audio LP5.3 better in most areas. So I guess since I find the Sim better, it makes the Vinyl Reference grossly over priced.
I have also had the Ayre P5xe, BAT VK-P10se, Dynavector P75 in my system over the last couple years. For one reason or another they are gone. I am looking for something as quiet and detailed as the Sim with a little bigger sound and a little more weight throughout the freq. range.
Audiofeil,
After you emailed me hawking your product line over the EAR I looked into your previous posts. Since your the first dealer to email pushing your product lines I think I will stick with the opinions of those without financial gain when I go through posts about products I am considering.

I gave you an honest opinion based on years of experience with dozens of phono stages in a private email, not a public forum.

Furthermore, I wouldn't represent a product I wouldn't own myself so your financial gain thing is lame. Take it someplace else.

You certainly have the right to ignore the opinion though.

Good luck.

It's a good thing the verbal jousting doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the 88pb.

Bill you must of spent hours thinking of a down putting spin on my moniker, but that my friend says more about you than me.

Your critical comments are littered everywhere in audiogon, so this is no one off.

I don't own the 88pb, but have heard it at length and have given my opinion on how it sounds. perhaps I should be peddling my phono stages like you are.

All the good manufacturers you mention would not want you to misrepresent their products, that I am for sure.

Audiofeil is shameless.
