First review of new ModWright PH150 reference tube phono stage
http://www.modwright.com/cms/resources/ph150-review.pdf
From what I have heard, this unit was very well received at both the Munich show as well as CAF. It is planned to have two of them in systems at RMAF this fall.
Dan has posted specs, pictures and more information at his AudioCircle sub forum if anyone is interested in learning more:

Have heard this phono, very smooth indeed, great soundstage and separation, and ultra quiet on the 100dB+ speakers being played!

Re: First review of new ModWright PH150 reference tube phono stage
I had the opportunity to listen to the PH 150 vs the Soulution 725 w built in phono stage courtesy of a local Chicago dealer. Was not expecting much from this outboard unit. Was pleasantly surprised. This tubed phono with separate power supply gave the onboard heralded 725 phono a real run for the money. With certain re-issues of Blue Note recordings it seemed to sound better. e.g. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers 180 gram re-issue of the 1958 recording of Moanin'. I thought i could hear deeper into the music. Like it was recorded yesterday. Astounding.

Re: First review of new ModWright PH150 reference tube phono stage
I own one and it is perfect for what I need in a phono stage. It sounds great but at this price it better! I'm sure you might even find a phono stage that sounds just as good for a little less coin, but not one that sounds this good and is as versatile. I own four high end carts that each require different settings. Because I own the PH150, a VPI with on the fly VTA, and four VPI wands, accurately switching carts literally takes less than a minute!
