In addition to Fremer's very positive review, the PS Audio Stellar just received a Product of the Year award at Stereophile. Plus PS Audio lets you return it if you don't like it after a 30 day trial. Read the review and John Atkinson's measurements in Stereophile, consider the flexibility that it affords and at $2,500 it is a steal. Anyone in the market for a phonostage would be foolish not to give one of these serious consideration.
