This phonostage seems a perfect compliment to the Hana EL cartridge on my VPI traveler turntable. I had been using a Parks Puffin DSP with a Grado Moving iron cartridge, but it was not good with the Moving Coil Hana EL. The KC Vibe has elevated my vinyl experience entirely- detail, power, and soundstage are all greatly improved. I am glad I went with the Vibe instead of a more expensive Sutherland phono stage - while those are surely magnificent- the Vibe gives me the Sutherland sound but fits into my modest- but mighty fine- system perfectly.

This Sutherland KC Vibe MK2 produces excellent sound. I have a much more expensive phono stage and turntable set-up in another room and I am equally satisfied with this system and I am enjoying it immensely. I was surprised by this and very pleased. Thanks go out to Ken at Upscale audio for the excellent advice to purchase this phonostage and as always for the A+ service.

This little Vibe is just wonderful. It's on a completely different level than anything I've owned for $1500 or less. I'm loving it. Wide open imaging. Detailed highs, smooth mids and solid bass.

I have about twenty hours on this KV Vibe and its really starting to open up. Very quiet as far as noise. Very wide dynamic range. My records are sounding great!

Extremely musical and well built phono stage. Currently awaiting my Clearaudio Concept Wood as an upgrade from an already amazing Planar 3. Thanks to Sean for the advice and patience!!!

Finally decided it was time to get a separate phonostage and goodness am I happy I chose this. The detail in the sound is unreal. Having so much fun with this paired up with my Rega P6. Cannot recommend this product enough for its craftsmanship and simplicity rolled into one fine product. Get one and don’t second guess it for a moment.
