DV 20X-L: Sutherland, Dynavector P75 or Heed....


Looking at phono stages in the $800-$1200 range. Any thoughts on the Sutherland's, Heed Quasar, or DV's own P75-3. TT is WT Amadeus, Integrated is an LM 211, EL34 based amp. Speakers are Spendor 3/5's. Needless to say, flexibility and good tonality are desired. This won't be a headbanging system. That is for my main system in a larger room. Cheers-Don

Thanks Roscoeiii and Zd542. I have a Quasar on the way. Roscoeiii, I was taking a close look at the Pulsus, but it ultimately came down to price. I was already bumping up from the P75 to the Heed price wise. Cheers -Don
I went P75 with my DV20xl and it's an awesome unit. It's also a nice match for a Denon DL103 if you want to try something else. I've heard a lot of lower cost phono pres and the P75 is my favorite.
I've owned a P75 and a Sutherland PHD. I think the tonality of the Sutherland is superior. It's the best sounding phono stage I've ever heard.
