Price/Features/Versatility, if I needed it, I would definitely try it, thanks for bringing it to my attention. If it sounds good, that’s a lot for the price.
Anything Phono: have full refund option, it’s ’preferred’ not ’better’, and everything phono sounds different in every different system.
It would be nice if it had a SUT option, letting you use an existing external MM RIAA Phono you may want to compare/prefer, like the vintage tube phono in my mx110z.
Instant remote comparisons from your listening position are awesome, it would be nice if it had remote balance to tweak errant tracks, or temporary or semi-permanent system balance issues prior to tracking them down. Once having remote balance, I will never live without it, I just bought a spare Chase RLC-1 as insurance.
IF you have a balance issue ONLY with phono, make sure it is not because of too much or too little anti-skate, that would be improper wear of both your stylus and grooves. You can see the physical results of proper anti-skate adjustment using the blank side of this disc
