I like this preamp better than any I've had since an Arcam Alpha 9, which I think was just a passive pot.
This phono stage mops the floor with my 40 years newer Cambridge Audio, and the power amp section throws my Nait 5/ Flatcap2 combo to the roadside, and curbs it.
Amazing how good this receiver turned out after a good deoxit cleaning!
Wish I'd got this before spending on so many other components.
