Valab LCR-1 Mk2 Mk3

Does anyone have it to comment on if it’s great phono preamp?

With which important phono preamp can you compare?

I've had it for about 6 weeks. I can say in my system it's very revealing. It replaced a Lounge Audio MkIII. I can't compare it to any other preamps because it's been awhile since I've had a standalone pre in my system. There's threads on Canuck Audio Mart (mine) and Stereo.net.au that discuss the Valab from current owners perspectives if you'd care to read on further.

Another Canuck Audiomart poster just ordered one and Kevin, Valab’s owner, told him that parts availability are somewhat limited hence the low production volume.
