Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp


Does anyone have any experience with the new Fosgate Phono Preamp? I'm currently using the Moon LP 5.3 with power supply upgrade which has been great, but I'm intrigued by the Fosgate. I've been auditioning one for the last few weeks and really like it. It has a very natural tone and listening to music with it is very enjoyable.

My one concern is that I hear much higher noise vs. the Moon when the needle isn't on the record. Not sure if this should be a real concern, given that I like what I'm hearing, but would like to hear other perspectives.

I am interested in hearing what all have to say, especially as paired with specific cartridges, as I have been considering this amp to get back to vinyl and tubes. I am curious about how well the Fosgate works with low output MC carts and no input transformer? I am considering the Lyra Kleos, with a 0.5mV output. The rated gain of 60dB is on the theoretical borderline.
