My friend went from the XV-1S to the Van Den Hul Colibri Gold XGP.
He feels it was a significant upgrade.
FYI: He uses a Brinkmann Balance turntable and an ARC Ref. 2 SE phono preamp.
I bought his XV-1S when he upgraded and loved it so much that when I wore it out, I bought another one.
Good luck in your search!
