Phonomena vs. AcousTech PH-1 phono pre amp?


Does anyone know if the Musical Surroundings Phonomena or the AcousTech PH-1 would be the best sound. I am looking to get a Music Hall MMF-7 with Goldring cartridge and will be using it with my Krell pre amp. I want to not be looking to upgrade and be a great match for this system. If you know of others I should consider for up to $1200, please suggest them to. Thank you for your input on this.

I have a Monolithic Sound PS-1. The advantage is that you can buy its plain vanilla version (like I did) and then add the outboard dual mono power supply. This, in turn, can be sent to MODWRIGHT for modification. Dan Wright uses two phono stages in his system: a Monolithic and an EAR 834. I think he prefers the EAR but then again, Dan is *heavily* into tubes. Comments from around say they're prety much similar, the Monolithic beign quieter.

I considered the Black Cube and the Phonomena, but my psychic powers told me to get the Monolithic...

This I know from a personal phone call: Greg Schug of Monolithic told me he is working on a hybrid phono stage better than the PS-1. It should then be killer, knowing what kind of products he throws out...
