XLO signature 3.1 phono is the best performance/value in my opinion. I have not heard anything better than it yet.
I'm using it with my VPI/Graham/VDH black beauty with 5 different step-up/MM and MC stages and it sounded just fabulous. I also tried in on cheaper Technic with SME3009/OC-9 setup and it still made a great improvement.
If clarity, dynamic, and pin point imaging with smooth transition is what you looking for then this is in my "keeper" catagory
