Has anyone heard "The Grove" yet????

The other units are called Micro Groove and Micro Groove Plus. There is a review in the Oct/Nov issue of THE ABSOLUTE SOUND. Here is the review:

Hope this helps in some way. If anything it may help you search for info/ reviews on the web, as "the grove" would probably have different search results than "the groove."

I used to own a PH3 (not SE version), then went to a the dramatically huge and exotic Counterpoint SA 11, and later tried the "Groove", which I now use.

The Groove is much quieter, faster and thus more resolving than either of the other 2. Since it has broken in and because it can be left on all the time, it has become equally dynamic as any tube phono stage I have ever heard - more so than the PH3 I owned. Also, some early leanness has fleshed-out - perhaps not quite as "round" sounding as some tube phono stages, but certainly not solid state sounding at all.

The Groove is a terrific phono stage, it's only problem being that it is not user configurable in terms of input impedance and the like, so you likely must have an idea what your cartridge likes to see before you order one. It is, however, extremely small and easy to place - something that I think anyone would appreciate.

I love mine and will not likely change it for something else, unless some miracle and universally acclaimed unit comes along.

Hope this helps you.

it's actually called the Groove. I hear it's a phenom.
