Leben RS-30EQ phono stage

I am not sure how similar dB gain is measured or if it is standardized. My ASR Mini Basis was set at 36dB to use with Ortofon SPU. When I tried Leben unit, I did not notice significant drop in sound level from what I remember. I would love to try Leben SPU. However my local dealer has been waiting for well over a year now for it and so far no shows....

Chas, has you been around a lamb, in my experience, lamb is anything but quiet :) bahhhh bahhhh...

Suteetat,
I guess our lambs are quiet over here....no bahhhing...or rf out of them...

I have one running along with my ARC Ref 3 and it is very nice. I have only been using it for about 40 hours so I'll get back when i have more information.

I have one in my system with a Bent audio step up. I plan to get a London decca so then i will be able to comment on its performance sans step up but i am very happy as is. Having said that I had an Allnic 1500 in my system for a few days and did think it had a touch more richness which I loved made me wonder what the Allnic 3000 must sound like. On MM phono stages your choices are limited maybe an Audio Note (would love to hear one as i have a Audio note M3 Line stage) or Tron. I enjoy the seperate step up - one can really taylor the sound.

I have a chance to pick up one of these (still on warranty, but used) for the same price of a new EAR 834p. Unfortunately I don't have th e option to listen to it.

Any thoughts of how they compare soundwise?

Thanks
