Sutherland 20/20 Experience & Thoughts

I'm interested in the Sutherland 20/20 phone stage and would appreciate any thoughts from owners as to how quiet it is and of course sound quality and any other thoughts concerning it
and comparisons (+/-) to other phono stages previously used.
Thanks for any feedback and help in my quest for a new phono stage.

Not really sure if this phono stage ever made it to the market. There was a lot of hype when it was announced but after that nothing was heard of it ever again.

It did make it to the market and has been reviewed by TAS,
Stereophile and others. I have read all the reviews out there
on this phono stage but was hoping to try to get some feedback from either owners or members who have heard it.

Having it reviewed doesn't mean it is actually selling. I know a distributor who tried to get/buy a 20/20. After trying for a long time without result he gave up on the brand.

Go to elusivedisk.com and look at phono preamp under Sutherland. They list it as in stock.

I love Ron’s preamps . The 20/20 is a killer. Very honest and dynamic like the Real Thing…..

From what I've read, and from what one Sutherland dealer has mentioned to me, he stated that the 20/20 was even more quiet than the older PHD, as well as more dynamic.

One reviewer sort of touched upon the same, saying the 20/20 was more dynamic than the PHD.

The dealer also told me that he really didn't hear a lot of difference with the Linear Power Supply added, so that might be just his own opinion and findings, but it sort of gives some indication that the 20/20 must work quite well with its stock Wall Wart Power Supplies.
