Some time ago my dealer told me a story about one of his customers,a vinyl collector, who has a very expensive stereo system and lots of cartridges ( Insider, Koetsu, Benz ), too.
He was looking for a new, good phono preamp. He had for loan, both clearaudio units ( their best ), a Manley steelhead, a Klyne 6 with the better phono board and some others I forgot.
He liked the Klyne best, the clearaudio was nothing special,
comparable to some other units, but no highlight.
Unfortunately not my own experience, but I think, I won't influence your opinion too much.
good luck
