A close friend/tech had an Audio Research amp that he claimed measured horribly. But he told me it sounded great. I don't always go by measurements. I listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My ears aren't someone elses.
Follow Ups:
The inadequacy of hearing doesn't justify poor design. The headphone amps were garbage, and this might be too. Measure first, then listen. No sense wasting time on defective products.
So you trust your ears?
You really shouldn't.

This is the third of this phono stage I have made and one other less extensive kit. All sound extremely good and those which have my builds always offer great comments about sound quality. A Stereophile reviewer used his EAR834p phono stage for many years as his reference. Admittedly a DIY kit build may sound different but it is the same design. With my Rega P3 with 330 arm and Garrett P77i cartridge I could not ask for my from my vinyl setup with this kit in place.
