Best value phono $1-1.5k

Has anyone done a comparison between these units:

1) PS Audio GCPH
2) Sim Audio LP5.3
3) Aqvox Phono2 MkII OR
4) Modded PS GCPH?

I only have experience with the Aqvox at a dealer's shop, and was impressed - one of those that "got on my radar" so to speak.

The PS unit is also interesting in that it is also fully balanced and comes with a volume and remote control.

Unfortunately I haven't seen any shoot outs.

Rene, thanks for the recommendation, the JLTI sounds interesting. I did a bit of searching and it appears to have gone up in price a bit.(?) The website has 2 versions, one black one with the RCAs on one side, and another with the silver faceplate. Which was the one that you are using?

Heed is in the right price bracket and the review sounds interesting though I've never heard of it before. How does it compare with other phonos like the PS Audio?

RE: Heed Quasar, have you heard it compared with your Hagerman Trumpet then?

Otherwise, which TT playback system did you listen/demo the Quasar?

Which unit was more dynamic?
Which had a bigger soundstage?
