I had this phono stage in my system for a few weeks last year.

It's a nice sounding phono

Do you guys prefer a tube phono stage or a ss one?

 

[XV-1]

I like them both.

For me with multiple tables and cartridges, ss and tubes give me the flexibility to enjoy any of my cartridges to their near maximum.


My Lyra Atlas loves my TW tube phono which allows the tubes natural life and extension in the upper frequencies to flourish.
Dyna xv-1s and Ortofon A-90 likes both the TW and Pass xp-25, depends on mood, music etc.
Denon DL-S1 and esc'd 103r like the Pass xp-25 on the higher gain setting.

Technology isn't important - correct implementation is ;-) After TheRiaa we had on test tube phonostage Phasemation EA-1 II, which was even more detailed than RCM
