Choosing a Good Phono Pre for a Rega RP-1 with a Denon DL-110.

I just purchased an upgraded Rega RP-1 turntable and a Denon DL-110 cartridge.  I have heard great reviews for the Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II, but want to explore other phonos that might mate well with the Rega and Denon.  My current system has an Oppo/Modwright 105D source, ARC LS-16 (modded by Steven Huntley of the Great Northern Sound Co) and ARC VM-220 monos.  Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed.  Thanks!

There is an Audio Research factory sealed PH-6 on AudiogoN right now for $2100.  That's an incredible buy for this unit.  If you really want to spend that kind of money that would be my recommendation. (No relation to the seller, just a TERRIFIC price).

The Lounge Audio phono stage mentioned above is KILLER.  I have one and it is really, really nice for the money.

I just wanted to tell all of you how happy I was with your comments. I just purchased a ARC PH-6 listed here on AudiogoN and am waiting for delivery.  I spoke with an ARC tech yesterday that stated that the Denon DL-110 was in the sweet spot spot for the 58 db gain that the PH-6 offers.  I will give an update when I have a chance to get everything set up in my ref rig.  Again, thanks for all the helpful comments.
