Cary SLP98 phono

I purchased a Cary SLP98L new in 2001 and have loved it ever since. My only regret is that I did not go for the phono version, as at that time I did not know that I would be heavily into vinyl within a year. I am currently using a Audion Sterling phono stage with the Cary and am happy with the sound (esp with my S-H cca's) but as I get older, I'm thinking I might cope better with a less complicated system.

I wrote Cary and the cost to upgrade my SLP98 to the phono version is surprisingly reasonable.

Can anyone comment on the Cary phono stage in comparison to other stages they've heard? Thanks.

I owned the SLP98P for a while. the line stage is superb.
The phono stage was shit. Bright and strigent, totally opposite to the line stage.
Stick with what you have if you are happy with your system now.
