would also consider alternative recommendations, should you have any?

I don't know of anything at the price which performs as well and is as practical. Closest is the EAR Phonobox, excellent but more expensive.

I'll throw in a curveball on the Phono stage front?

New Pro-Ject S3 B is pretty great, picked one up just to let me play records for now.
Was curious as this one had balanced outputs for a daft price, and was getting great reviews.

Very surprised by the great job its doing with my P10, still running in but even at that its sounding at least as good as my old Primare r32.
Thats with the stock nasty switch mode 18v psu, so I'm able to improve its power supply at some point.

£350 new.
Bit of a shock actually at the sounds this thing puts out.
(Using Balanced outputs, not tried its normal RCA outputs)
