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.

Has anybody heard the FM Acoustics 223 phono stage ?
It claims to remove the scratches and surface noise on LP's.
FM Acoustics claim that the tics and scratches are removed in the analog domain and not digitally so I wonder if there is a delay in the music.
Below is a link, sorry cannot figure out how to make a direct link.
