How good is vk-p3 phono?


I posted the same question in the amp/preamp forum, but it would be more appropriate in this forum, and hopefully to get more responses. ;-)
vk-p3 is sold at $750 and can be used with vk-3x preamps as add-in module. I wonder whether vk-p3 users feel that it outperfroms (or at least as good as) most separate phono preamps at $1000~$1500 new.

I posted the question since I was very disappointed with the phono card in my vk-30 tested in my friend's house. After I've read some of the responses, I could not but conclude that the phono unit was at fault or there was something else seriously wrong.
However, my firend found out that the RCA connection was wrong. It was off-phase. Doh. What a stupid mistake!
After the correction, the phono sound just good as supposed to be. It needs more serious listening to be compared with more expensive units, but I am satisfied with its sound quality.

Thanks for all your response.
