Meridian IA30 phono card versus external phono amp

I wonder how good the moving coil phono card of the Meridian 861v4 preamp/processor is. I have currently an AccousTech Electronics PH1-P phono stage that pre-amps the signal from the Pink Triangle/SMEV/Lyra Clavis turntable and feeds it into a Meridian preamp/processor standard analog input. The phono card in the Meridian preamp would simplify the setup (one box down) and might provide an improvement of the sound. Has any vinyl enthusiast done serious comparisons of the Meridian card versus other high-performance phono stages?

Dear Roger: I wonder the why's on this thread because you own both " sides " of your question.

My question: what do you prefer? what do you think is better?, IMHO the one option that you like it is the one to go and it does not matters what any one else thinks on the subject because you are the one that has to live with and the one that has to be satisfied.

regards and ejoy the music.
