Phono Stage Question.....

I am considering a Sutherland Little LOCO Mk 2 Phono stage. 

I currently run a Conrad-Johnson EF1 Phono stage, with Lyra-Delos Moving Coil Cartridge putting out 0.6 mV.  5-10 Ohms of impedance.  SME V arm, J.A. Michell table.  Preamp is Conrad-Johnson Premier 17LS, Amp is C-J LP66s,  Both all tube.

Sutherland touts their Transimpedance technology over 'traditional' voltage technology.

They state that Loading and Gain do not need to be set or worried about with this particular circuit design.

I'm wondering if anyone here has crossed over to the Sutherland Circuit Technology within their system, and is it really better than 'traditional' voltage tech.

Would you rate it 'much improved-go and buy it' or 'meh, not a big deal'??

Thank you for your thoughts and input as always....Lou

I’m running a Lyra Delos currently with the Little Loco II

i went from the 20/20 for the last 3 years  and have had the little loco 

for about 3 months.  There’s really no comparison

This Little Loco was the biggest single improvement I have encountered 

since I began this hobby

Every single record I  play ,plays back 

inhibited and gives me a balance in tone I have never heard.

Really this unit just trounced the 20/20

which thought was good in itself.

You Will not be disappointed 

Good luck Willy -T
