I'm considering this preamp, and had some questions about the phono section for the members.
How does it compare to other stand alone phono stages or ones built into other preamps?
From Stereophile John Atkinson had this to say
Do owners feel the phono-section is more unforgiving of surface noise given its use of enhanced RIAA eq curve?

Both the ultrasonic tip-mass resonance of a typical MC cartridge and the ultrasonic content of record ticks will be emphasized compared with conventional RIAA equalization, with possible audible consequences depending on the downstream components. I wish this were a switchable option
