Help- Review on Phono Stage

I get email ads from Crutchfield Electronics.  Today was the top 10 products to review for 2019.

One item caught my eye....A Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 Phono Stage....Price $ 400.00 (currently out of stock).

No reviews currently available. 

I was hoping someone here has purchased this piece of equipment and would provide some honest and down to earth opinions as to its function and operation.  Did a search inquire and nothing came back.......

Thank You!

I had one of their older phone stages, the Tube Box II and it was OK, but nothing to get excited about.  I didn't keep it very long.  The small format is nice.

For $400 I'd get a Parks Puffin.  I just bought one and to my ears it sounds better than my $1000 Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena, which is no slouch on its own.

At that price point, I’d go solid state: iPhono2.

Ok, thanks for the honest opinions from group.  I am currently running a C-J EF1 phono stage and it is still performing well.  No reason to take a step down.  Thanks again.
