TW Acustic Phono Users


Do you own or have you tried the TW Acustic RPS 100 Phono?  Looking for impressions on this phono.

Thoress Phono Enhancer MK.2

EMT JPA66 MKII

Hi - got RPS100 several months ago but was having system ground loop issues only on phono that caused analog to be unlistenable.  Replaced my power conditioner with Vibex and now able to use -- just starting to use more regularly and could not be happier.  Haven't started digging out my older vinyl and playing with the phono curves but as would be expected SQ takes a major leap forward over the solid state Ayre phono it replaced.
Tried their old one made by Thoress, if memory serves.  Is the latest TW RPS 100 phono stage any improvement?  ebm, seems to think yes.
After a couple of months can report that the TW-Acustic RPS 100 sounds wonderful and works flawlessly.  Using with the TW-A GT w/two TW-A 10.5 tonearms: Miyajima Madake Stereo (balanced) & Zero Mono (single-ended).  

Biggest issue is that the TW-A analog front end sounds so great that many CD's are now almost unlistenable.  So retracing my steps to re-acquire albums that I did have on vinyl but converted to CD due to space constraints, often at ridiculous prices.  But it's worth it.
