How good is a Cary PH302?

Hello

I have a Cary 302 and would like some input on how good or bad it is. I am from Australia so I don't have much opportunity to compare phono stages.

I have the upgrade bug and have been eyeing on amps from Artemis, Tron, mod wright etc.... All of these amps are not much more expense than the Cary, but they all seem to have a great fanbase.

Am I going sideways with the above options or are they a Huge improvement?

I was thinking of upgrading mainly because I would prefer a bit more fain for my zyx .24mv cartridge. Another option I was thinking was to buy an external sut.

Thanks for any advice.

I'm surprised by the Cary customer service comment. I own 5 Cary pieces and any time I've had a problem, e mailing them or calling there customer sevice number has yeilded an immediate response. They have even called me back within an hour of my inquiry. They have a tech to answer any and all questions from, I think ,1 to 5 every day. I'm not affiliated with them just a happy customer
