Pro-Ject phono preamps?


Does anyone have experience or opinions on the Pro-Ject phono preamps? I'm interested in possibly getting the solid state RS or the tube DS. I'm a bit torn as I'd like the superior resolution of the RS but would want the lushness and holographic sound tubes offer.

I also considered the Ear 834 but thats a big jump in price. Also, as odd as it may sound, I'm completely downsizing, hence my attraction to the mini sized Pro-Ject line.

I use the Phonobox 2 and Phonobo 2SE. Both are excellent for the money but I have have two Clearaudio ones.

I think the Pro-ject ones are very competent but not exceptional. The RS offers a lot of flexibility but I went for the 2-box Clearaudio Basic Plus which was more even sounding and a better fit with my Clearaudio tables.

If you are running a Pro-ject tables, the RS is a great choice. Add a nice Ortofon cartridge and play lots of records.
