Art Audio Vinyl Reference vs Maxxed Out K&K

I am considering moving from a Moon LP 5.3 with outboard power supply to either a the Art Audio Vinyl Reference (used about $2,700) or the Maxxed Out K&K phono pre with all upgrades constructed by Kevin Carter (new about $2,600). I would appreciate comments from anyone who has heard one or more of these phono pre amps. I am currently using ortfon jubilee cartridge. Thanks in advance

I can say definitively that Kevin is NOT going to abandon kit sales in favor of Sonus Veritas phono preamps. These two items are targeted at very different groups of buyers and deserve to share the stage together. In fact as the previous poster wrote, Kevin is working on improving the Maxxed-Out Kit on a continuing basis. The latest upgrade is worth applying to both the original kit (2003-2007) and Maxxed-Out Kits sold prior to September 2010. Starting with the kit I am building this week, the upgrades will be "on the board".

BTW, this is Kevin. Thanks for all of the kind words from you owners!

Cheers and Happy New Year!
