The best phono stage out there?

TW Acustic Phono stage is certainly a sweet, extended holographic phono stage.

- 60 odd db of pure tube gain, with no noise

- 3 inputs which is invaluable

- 6 loading options from the front panel

I use mine with dyna XV-1, Koetsu Rosewwod, denon 103r & Ortofon Jubilee

Ecka. Battery povered phono-stage.
BTW the question as stated is impossible to answer because
of the 'implication': comparition of,say,20+ phono-
stages.
My experience is in some sense 'onesided'. My first battery
phono was ASR 'Basis' with separate power suply and 4x12
Volt batterys in the 'main box'. I was very happy with this
phono for years (10?). But then come the 'Exclusive' with
very positive reviews from Pearson,Fremer and others.
So I bought the 'Exclusiev' 2 years ago. Those are very
havy'machines' and ,it seem to me, a kind of overkill:
400.000 uF (in the pow.sup) + 700.000 uF in the 'main box'.
But there is no question about: the exlusive is in another
leaque. My 'Eclusive' has 2 separat but 'identical' phonos
so I use 2 carts: Jubilee and Phase Tech P-3 G,both with
100 Ohm. There are many models of 'Exlusive',sinds +/-
2000 (in Germany known as 'HD'). They are all in my
opinion very good and very interesting as 'second hand'.
For +/- 2000 Euro one can get one in Germany. Alas the
weight is 35 kgr. and the Voltage is 240.
Cheers

Ecka Battery povered phono-stage.
I forget to mention that those are 'rechargeble' batterys
and that one can change them after 6-7 years self.
I also forget to mention that even Raul can't fulfill
the conditions implied by the implication.I.e. comparition
of 20+ phono-stages. Those are not carts.
Cheers

I have had an Allnic 1500 for awhile now. I've not had a really top end phono stage before, only in the Project Tube Box/Eastern Electric range. I tried the Allnic H-1200 first and found it startlingly better than what I had previously experienced. Soooo, went to the H-1500 soon after. Like Genesis, I've rolled some tubes in the power supply and found quite significant differences in character (not necessarily quality )resulting; great to have that flexibility. I've been using the H-1500 with the Allnic Verito cartridge on a Dynavector 505 on Technics SP-10 MK II with a custom plinth (I bought from Rob Wyatt). At the moment, I'm not interested at all in another manufacturer - just mulling over how to get an H-3000.
