The best phono stage out there?

I have recently purchased a basis turntable and was wondering what analog lovers think is the very best phono stage they have heard . I currently use the Sutherland PhD and like it very much but have not really had an opportunity to audition other great phono stages. The cartridge I intend to use is the Dynavector XV-1S .
Thanking you for your opinions

You are going to get 6 thousand different phono amps to read about from those who chime in.

If everyone writes in and says the Sutherland PhD is the best they have heard would you keep it?

I have had the Audio Note, EAR 324, PhD, Herron, & the ASR Exclusive and they all were/are excellent sounding. Each one had a different flavor of sound that was not necessarily better than the other. I kept the ASR because of it's battery powered abilities.

My vote is for the PhD. Keep and and enjoy it to the hilt.
