According to Jeff Dorgay at Tone Audio (No. 74, October 2015) , 
"This is actually more of a long-term review, with Mr. Marcantonio confirming what I heard instantly with the ZP3.  It’s a real ear opener, and proves that you don’t need to spend crazy money to get exquisite analog.  Using the ZP3 with my favorite MM cartridges, this phonostage instantly amazed me with how much music it reveals and resolves for a $1,300 box.  Up till now, my favorite budget phonostage has been my trusty Audio Research PH-3SE, which retailed for exactly twice the MSRP of the Decware back in 2001 when it was discontinued and used FET’s in the first gain stage.  The ZP3 is even quieter, being all tubes.

I continue to be impressed by the tonal delicacy, richness and contrast this phonostage offers. Unless you have an ultra megabuck analog setup and system,  I’d highly suggest buying a Decware ZP3, the matching transformer and calling it a day. It’s that good. And it’s good enough to get one of our Publisher’s Choice Awards next issue, too. – Jeff Dorgay
