As far as sonics I feel from personal experience the very best SS are better than the best tube but a simple low gain tube unit is hard to beat with transistors at the same price.

I haven't had too much experience with the better solid state phono stages. A friend has the big, bad Boulder stage, but aside from that one, my experience has been limited to the one built into my Levinson Ref. No. 32 and the Linn Linto. What solid state phono stages would you recommend I seek out to audition that would work with either a Lyra Titan or Transfiguration Orpheus?
There are probably others too I am not aware of from personal experience.
I almost forgot about the Klyne. I've heard that one and liked it. I am a bit curious about the Ray Samuels Emmeline, but there isn't an easy way for me to audition that one.
