Boulder phono stage


I am considering the purchase of a Boulder phono stage to mate with my 2010 pre-amp.
The two choices are either the 1008 or 2008.  Please do not recommend a new 2108 as it is currently outside my price range.  Have any of you auditioned these, if so what are your impressions?

Thank you,
Jose

I have a 1008.
 It's superb, truly full range and very satisfying musically.
so i will continue to work my up the lineup, next stop 2008.

Imho Boulder gives you everything;
the harmonic richness and delicacy of valves,
with the bass weight and solidity only solid state can provide.

That being said, i still prefer to use valve pre-amps, but combined with ss power amplification.
