Owners of Plinius 9200 using the internal phono st

I just received my Plinius 9200 with the internal phono stage.
Is it me or am I just wanting it to sound so good but did they improve this over the 8200 MKll? I don't recall my MKll sounding as detailed and dynamic.
I have never had any luck with a built in phono before that's why I am hoping I am not making this up and just wanting to hear the good and over look any short comings it may have.
Does anyone else share my opinion that this phono stage is that good?

it is very good indeed. I was using a Shelter 901 initially, Plinius did not offer impedance adjustment so I sold it for a Sumiko Blackbird. Even without breaking in the Blackbird, the sound was alive, dynamic, fast, detail, and extended. It was mounted on a VPI SSM, all sit on a GP Audio Monaco.

I don't have anything to compare to here, but I have owned SF Phono 1 SE and ARC PH3 SE, I have heard numerous world class phono stage.
