Boulder 1008 phono. Anyone hear it?


I would love to know how it compares to the 2008 or to anything else out there. The price is much more reasonable, w a few less features but it has 2 inputs.

Has anyone heard this recently?

I'm trying to find out the technology for the RIAA Equalization, passive like the Allnics?

I have a tube pre-amp and amp so leaning towards a SS phonostage.

It has balanced inputs: how hard to rewire?

Mono switch is very good for the few mono records that I own.

I really like the fact that it has another set of balanced outputs to record lps; don't have to process it through the pre-amp.

Have very few records before 1955 so probably would not be using the different equalization curves very often.

Other ones I'm looking into are the AR Ref 2, The Allnic 3000, I have the Allnic 1500 and it is fabulous driving my DaVinci turntable, Soulution 750, the Ypsillon and Vitus SP101. For the last three I may be able to obtain sizable discounts to bring the prices more in line with the Boulder. Any comments on these? I think very few have been sold in the U.S. due to the substantial price markups.
