Advice on phono pre

I did a phono stage shoot out a few years ago. One of the units was the SimAudio Moon LP5.3. I found that the optional, outboard power supply made a HUGE difference with this model. Do you have or have you tried this? IMHO, it's mandatory to get the most out of LP5.3.

Check out Quicksilver Audio! I have the older model and I think it is outstanding ! IMO,nothing like tubes in a phono preamp.

I"m actually looking at phono pre's too. Not fond of the JC3+ in the systems I've heard them in compared to comparable or lower priced units. That's just me. I still think that you can't go wrong with Audio Research or Aesthetix right now. I haven't loved many of the hyped units out there for some reason. I have been wondering about Whest PS30 RDT if anyone has info. thanks

Need to upgrade my system info. Have a ref 3 preamp now. Would be interested in the sim power supply but can't get one to listen to as I'm rather far from a dealer.

Your system list shows that you have a high output cartridge. Are you planning on using a low output in the future, or are you going to stay with what you have?
