A very good sounding CH Precision P1 with X1 power supply and ZYX Optimum cartridge was very satisfying until I acquired a DS Audio Master 3 phono stage with a Grand Master cartridge.
Every time Conrad Johnson ups the game it is a game changer. My ART Phono is the current top of the line and wonderful. The thing is, at some point personal taste takes control. I prefer the sound of CJ, but respect the sound of others too. At this level there are several that are awesome.
It's very hard to beat a manley steelhead. When I bought mine, after Fremer's stellar review, I felt it was the single best piece of audio equipment I had ever experienced.
