Phono Preamps with "balls" ?


taking the cue from another thread about speakers with "balls" - what are some phono preamps that you have found to be the most powerful, dynamic and yet still sound clean.  
i turn on my digital sources and they are often much more robust sounding and would like to know if there are phono preamps that can deliver.  thanks in advance

Dear @jcarr : I was talking of perfect matched bipolar devices not about FETS.

Clicks/pops: that’s a LP problem and not because that pole. In the other side there is nothing perfect in audio. Your Lyra cartridges are not but this is not the issue. You only have an opinion on that pole and in the phono stage that you have in your site is not implemented ( obviously. ) and I ask if in that unit you listened the Neumann constant to have that first hand experience through that phono stage design.

Btw, I’m not wrong about. That phono stage is the one you have in your site not the other. That old design has its own history and any one can find out in several forums like DIY. I’m talking of that unit that’s is not balanced and needs an external line stage with additional connectors, solder joints and cable where all these makes a degradation. So you don’t like the Neumann pole but you did not implemented yet in any of those two phono stages ! ? ! ?.

What do you want to say? because you don’t showed here nothing that could confirm everything I posted is wrong because my very high ignorance level but you are not perfect either.

If you are asking why bipolars it’s because you have not the answer but my unit is not the only down there with bipolar approach even vintage Levinson items used the MATs at the input and for very good reasons. The real subject belongs in the design skills of each single designer.

You are talking of something that you never implemented in those designs. The Neumann pole has its own side problems that only through the design skills can be avoided or at least left at minimum. Dartzeel implemented it and those side problems are very clear to listen it, this Neumann implementation was not made it in the rigth way but you know something: each designer has his own " rigth way ". Obviously you did not.

Now, you are a manufacturer and I'm not and you are talking of two subjects ( Neumann/bipolars. ) that you never implemented in your items. Makes no sense to me coming from you. As I said the phonolinepreamp I own comes with both characteristics so at least I have a frame to talk about and the experiences when I made some evaluations against top units outside.

It’s useless to follows on this dialogue. As I said enough and I mean it this time.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

I’d suggest Spectral; even though that means buying a used DMC20 preamp with the optional phono stage.
