LAP-150 MkII - How good is the phono stage


Hi

I am considering either a LAP-150 MkII or LA-150 MkII SE, my question is: Just how good is the phono stage in the former.

Thanks in advance

SE version has slightly less lush midrange but much more natural and very detailed. You will be "grabbed" by music as all Jud'c components are.... Similarly sounding LA-300ME was described by Harry Pearson as "most romantic" preamplifier.

I said similarey sound because "SE" version its the same as the main one but with tubes and signal capacitors identical to that of Marrianne-Electra series preamps, so texture is practically the same...for better or worse.
