I ended up buying a Whest PS30R.

"I've got the Whest dialed in at 65db of gain and a 100ohm load and it sounds phenomenal. I wasn't sure how big a role the phonostage plays in vinyl reproduction but now I'm a believer. The Whest is very, very dynamic, detailed and has fantastic PRaT. Tonal balance is very neutral. Voices and instruments have appropriate warmth and body and there is good dimensionality. Of course, comparing the Whest to the ARC SP16 isn't entirely fair. Since I sold the SP16 I've upgraded to an LS26 and an SD135 so the Whest is feeding better components down the chain. Regardless, I am very pleased with the Whest and would recommend it highly. It performed better in my system than the EAR 834P, ARC PH5 and the Acoustic Sounds PH-1. Really a super phonostage for the money"

Audio Magazine Reviews:

‘With the PS30R in my system, I was entertained with outstanding control, definition, focus, soundstaging and transparency - If you value black backgrounds, superb inner detail and fantastic imaging, this one definitely has some serious ear appeal’
Tone Audio – Randy Wells

‘The PS30R is, and I realize how dangerous such statements can be, nothing short of spectacular’
LP Magazine – Holger Barske

‘Soundstaging is beautifully three dimensional and solid The dynamics are stunningly transient and fine dynamics are elegant and accurate - and with this performance, can claim to be one of the very best phonostages in the world’
Hifi and Records - Helmut Rohrwild
