Experiences on Tom Evans phono stage ?


I'm in the process of downsizing my analog rig as I'm moving to a smaller apartment.
I'm considering the Tom Evans phono stage based on the recommendations of the reviews.
Can anyone share their experiences on this ?
I'm looking to spend in the vicinity of $2,000 to $3,000 for a good one.
I'm flexible so it doesnt have to be Tom Evans if you guys say so.
I have an VPI scoutmaster with Shelter 5000 cartridge.
My current phono pre-amp is the ARC PH5 which was sold a few days ago.

Have a good one !!!

My buddy has the groove and it is absolutely one of the best stages I have ever heard.The only stage I heard that may be better is the Ese Lab. The Ese is less expensive, quieter and had a deeper soundstage. Awesome details and dynamics. I was set to get the Groove until I heard the Ese. Call Hart at Audioadvancements. He sold my friend the Groove but now that he has heard the Ese, feels its better all around.
