what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO?

Mountainsong,

Fair enough - but please notice that I did not put any opinion in my post nor did I encourage you to buy anything. I just pointed out that you should take a look at it too, then you can decide if it was something you wanted to pursue.

Best of Luck

Have never heard the Liberty (and am extremely happy with the SimAudio Moon 5.3 with external power supply I just replaced by P75 with), but based on reviews and specs it does certainly seem worth taking a close look at. I have no problem with a manufacturer suggesting you look at his product. He makes no claims for it in this forum, and identifies himself as the manufacturer (if he hadn't done that it would be a problem in my book).

Anyway, loads of great phono stages out there. Most important is to try them in your system to see what works best in your particular rig.

I also have a simaudio Lp5.3 with outboard power supply, but I kept the GCPh for my den system. I like the easy adjustments on the GCPH for testing multiple cartridges, and with remote volume, phase and mono, I run it straight into my Nobis Contigore tube amp, bypassing any preamp. Lovely sound.

I sent my my GCPH to the Parts Connexion to be modified. What I got back was a night and day improvement. After I got bored with that, I took the next step and added a Bob's Devices Cinemag 1131 step up transformer. This again took my GCPH to another level. I have no intention of trading this in for a Chinook, XP15 or anything else in the near future.
