It's alright. Transparent and can be quite live sounding with certain LPs. Tonally OK. It'll expose bad recordings (a good thing and a bad thing if you catch my drift). It's a $500.00 phono stage. IMO, not up to the level of quality of the Reference Master ($800) I had it paired with, but a decent synergy. All in all, not bad, just not hugely involving like some tube designs I've heard.
