Has anyone heard this phono preamp. Even better, has anyone upgraded from the H1201 to the H5500. I am looking for a new phono stage. I want an all in one MC unit. I appreciate how some people like a SUT. I just don't want to mess with them. I have one. Its highly reactive. It requires special attention to placement. It requires special cables to connect it to the phono preamp. I want a more simple compact solution. I have heard a few other phono preamps. Some of them have stomped on my H1201, but they have too much inherent noise. Or at least noise that emanates in my system. My H1201 is actually pretty quiet. I don't have issues with it in that regard. It just lacks. When I listen to other phono pre they seem to bring the music more to life. They are more real. More clean. More alive. Better bass response. The H1201 is good. And with the Aidas Mammoth Gold its quite good. But other pre I have heard really step the vinyl up.
Thanks
