McCormack RLD-1 phono stage experience?

I have the phono stage installed in my RLD-1 with Platinum upgrades from SMC Audio. I sent it in to SMC Audio for all of the upgrades he could do to it. I had the phono section previously installed in my McCormack TLC-1 preamp.
Love the Remote control on the RLD-1.

I have been very happy with the phono stage and find it to be completely neutral.

I've been a big fan of Steve McCormack for over 20 years starting with my first set of Tip Toes.

Thanks Nealvb!

The more I listen to the RLD-1 over these past few days, the more impressed I am. I Listened to a Refence Recording of Walton's Facade/Strauss Till Eulenspiegel CD the other night. In my system I've never heard such a lively, realistic and involving presentation of this recording. It literally sent chills down my spine and I cheered out loud after the conclusion of the Strauss!

I can only imagine the level of performance with the mods. The phono stage sounds like a great way to go. And yes, the volume control is terrific. Steve McCormack is certainly a treasure in the audio industry...an all around nice guy who sets the gold standard for customer service as well as designs/produces a quality product at a reasonable cost. Bravo!

I added the card myself. It isn't difficult and requires no special skills other than opening the case and inserting the card.
