Sutherland 20/20 Experience & Thoughts

I'm interested in the Sutherland 20/20 phone stage and would appreciate any thoughts from owners as to how quiet it is and of course sound quality and any other thoughts concerning it
and comparisons (+/-) to other phono stages previously used.
Thanks for any feedback and help in my quest for a new phono stage.

Having it reviewed doesn't mean it is actually selling. I know a distributor who tried to get/buy a 20/20. After trying for a long time without result he gave up on the brand.

Go to elusivedisk.com and look at phono preamp under Sutherland. They list it as in stock.

I love Ron’s preamps . The 20/20 is a killer. Very honest and dynamic like the Real Thing…..

From what I've read, and from what one Sutherland dealer has mentioned to me, he stated that the 20/20 was even more quiet than the older PHD, as well as more dynamic.

One reviewer sort of touched upon the same, saying the 20/20 was more dynamic than the PHD.

The dealer also told me that he really didn't hear a lot of difference with the Linear Power Supply added, so that might be just his own opinion and findings, but it sort of gives some indication that the 20/20 must work quite well with its stock Wall Wart Power Supplies.
