What is the Phono stage you have finished with?

I have an early Herron VTPH-1MC, serial number < 10. It has all the mods through around mid-2001.

I'm completely satisfied with it. Very detailed without being analytical or too polite, pinpoint imaging with a huge and deep soundstage, transparent, very flat frequency response, dynamic, musical, very pulse coherent.

The newer current production version of the Herron phono stage is supposed to be a little better but I haven't heard it.

atma-sphere mp-1 mkIII.

great linestage as an add on too.

PS Audio GCPH - granted, low in the food chain compared to many here, but it does a great job in my system!

VTL TP6.5: after I've heard quite a lot of other phono preamps, like Tron, Tom Evans, Aesthetic, Nagra, Blue Amp, Audia Flight, ASR.
