What is the best phono stage you have heard?

2008 to today... that's thread exhumation!

There are 3,
Michell ISO HR
Croft Vitale
Monacor spr.-6
The last 2 are class A and are notable for having no OP amps!
The Monacor is priced around £24
Before you turn the page, a phono
Stage consists of 2 transistors per channel, a feedback loop and a few resistors for RIAA correction. A PP3 battery would last 3 -6 months.
So, why OP Amps, and the crazy prices?
