Pretty sure I saw a pair of S5 Mk II in crates at the factory when I was there earlier this year. He does have a LOT of speakers.
Anyhow back on the phono topic I think it will be a top choice/reference level for tubed phonos as long as you are OK with the lack of flexibility. On my Argo, Velissarios of Trulife added a low/high gain switch for the step up which gives 3dB of headroom and allows accommodation for LOMC up to about 0.6mV. You might be able to request similar custom mods.
