Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think?

I am thinking of getting a phonostage and is looking at ASR Basis Exclusive 2010 solid state unit, BAT VK P-10SE with super pack, and Allnic H3000. I have never heard any of these units and would like to hear your opinion on solid state phono stage vs tube phonostage. And also your opinion on these units that I am looking at.

Swampwalker,

I am going to use Dynavector Moving Coil: 20XH, 20X Medium from VPI, and a Denon DL-S1. I listen to Jazz, R&B, some Rock, and Reggae music; therefore I am looking for some bsss from those phono stages I mentioned.

I also had a Modwright phono stage, and I had sellers remorse when I let it go. I never had the chance to compare it one and one to a solid-state unit. But so far the Modwright is the best one I heard in my system that deliver the sound stage that I really like. A friend lent me his ASR Basis Exclusive 2010, which I am listening to now as I write this posting; but I just can't get it. It has good top and bottom but It does not have the sound stage the I like. It sound thin to me. I tried many records old and new. I don't know it it's the price that's affecting me.
