If you are serious about a phono stage, look no further: Go with the ModWright. I own this unit for almost two years now and I am very please with it, and I listen to my system almost every day. Before buying the ModWright, I auditioned SAP phone stage, Graham Slee Era Gold, PS Audio, and the built in phono stage in my McIntosh C2200 pre-amp. None come close to the ModWright, it is just solid. I am not saying the others are no good, but the ModWright is better for me. Another plus (Mentioned in another posting by someone else)is the service and support from ModWright: Second to none. My phono stage had the silver face plate and one call to them and I was able to to exchange it for for a black face plate at a nominal price. At one point I heard a hum coming from my system and I thought it was caused by the ModWright phono stage, I called them up and explained what was going on and they said I should return it. They tested it and did not find any problem with it. When it returned I still heard the hum. It turned out that I had two bad (intermittent) interconnect cables, that was a year ago. Since then no problem. The ModWright is a soolid unit.
