Thank you all for responding with great information. It sounds like both phono preamps are terrific. I do like a lot the fact that you can feed the GCPH directly into the power amp; you can actually save money on forgetting a preamp if you only listen to vinyl.
PS Audio GCPH mod vs. Heed Quasar
I'm looking to replace my $500 MM phono stage with something both more refined and more flexible to accommodate MC carts as well, and have been considering these aforementioned stages.
The GCPH is a $1500 extensive mod that apparently offers superb dynamics and clarity and holds its own with phono preamps three times its price.
The Quasar has developed an almost cult-like following and is apparently a steal at its price of $1000.
I can audition the Quasar but not the GCPH mod. The GCPH seems to offer more flexibility, but the Quasar still has pretty much what I'm looking for in terms of features.
Any advice or feedback from owners of either?
Thank you!
