PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp vs. Allinic H1202


Any thoughts out there ?
Solid state vs. tube 
Anyone currently using either one of these would love your feedback

Read reviews and go by which one exhibits the sound characteristics you’re looking for.  Personally I’d take a Herron VTPH over either, so maybe add that one to your list. 
Not a "bad" choice with either.

I've demoed the1201 Allnic and heard the Stellar  in few setups. The Allnic has a tube "presence" which my ears prefer. The Stellar will be the last word in quiet. Minimal tube noise from Allnic is only when blasting the volume during quiet passages and between cuts. Not a deal breaker if you're already a tube user.

Try a demo both, take the the small hit on return shipping.
