Stand out phono stages

This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.

What about the AMR PH-77. Got mine 2 years ago, and never stopped loving it

I don't often participate in these forums, but would like to weigh in on the comments made by fellow Audiogoners, on the AMR PH-77

I purchased it late last year, and had many wonderful listening sessions with it. To say that an AMR product is "mechanical" is not entirely correct, as the entire Reference 77 range has one of the most natural tones I can find in the market

But, Karelfd said it best, that the decisive decision to buy anything is the fit into your own system

I am happy to say that the PH-77 fitted into my system like a glove, and I have 3D images in rock solid positions, while still producing the fluid continuity that tubes are best for ... rock on ... this is definitely a keeper
