I have been using this unit for over 1 year, and it is outstanding. I have a $30,000 stereo system at my big house, but recently bought a smaller place in a more urban area for better access to golf and medical services. In the big system I have an Audio Research PH-5 phono stage, which cost $2000. It is excellent.
In my new system at the smaller place, I amusing this MF phono stage, and the difference is very slight. I am using Music Hall turntables and Benz cartridges in both systems; about $2000 worth in each system.
This unit is simply amazing for the price; an outstanding performer.

If you need a best of quality phono pre amp within a tight budget, don't look elsewhere just go and buy this little wonder from Musical Fidelity. It sounds exceptionally good and getting better and better day by day after the initial break-in period. Outstanding Brit sound with near perfect PRAT. You will be amazed how good this little unit sounding when you listen to it.
