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.

Personally I prefer the sound quality of the RS over the Tube S/DS. If you want the both of best worlds, you could consider using the RS for your phono preamp and buying a small inexpensive tube buffer to slip into your signal path.
I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with different tube buffers, but the one I've read a bit about is the one Grant Fidelity / Yaqin. It's relatively inexpensive and small.
