If I can work him down a bit I think this may be a nice unit to pick up.

John-I thought you were going for a tube phono section.

You may have just increased demand by sharing the listing, so the price may become firm.

John, I've had both a PH3d & 20/20 in my system over the last year. his circuits are ultra simple and employs just two cascaded op amps/ch and few loading options apart from resistence and gain. The sound is 'soft' and pleasant but imo, ultimately lacked transparency compared to others at that price point. if you're set on a Sutherland you could get similar -- maybe identical --performance from a used accoustech ph-1 or Ph3d (both designed by Ron) and save a bundle.

That's my preference yes (a tube unit), but I've heard many good things about the Sutherland stuff so I wanted to throw it out there.

How about something like this: http://www.kosmic.us/thorens-mm-005.html and put the rest of your budget into more LPs.

It's a great performer, and with a couple of cheap tweaks is quite a giant killer.

I would add a linear power supply (about $30 from Jameco or somebody else Canadian).

Replace the cheap coupling caps with something nicer: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...GAEpiMZZMtZ1n0r9vR22e0BBN1kF1oiryMG98mh%2bTw=

And, out of curiosity, not advocating, has anyone heard the Puresound P10? It looks like it rings the right bells, and I don't think it is terribly expensive....

Another one I'm curious about is the Furutech GT40 - it seems to do everything except beat eggs...... all for $500.
