I have one in my system and found it superior to the ARC PH7 phono stage. You can get loading plugs from Germany to match pretty much any cartridge, but as I use ClearAudio cartridges, it is probably a little easier for them to supply an exact loading plug.
I have dispensed with a pre-amp [maybe for the time being] and run both my Wadia 581 and the ClearAudio direct to the amps in fully balanced mode. Just means swopping cables when I want to change the music source.
Clarity and soundstage are a big improvement now.
