Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp


I currently have a Mac MA-6600 and Revel F-30 speakers. I recently pre ordered a new VPI Prime turntable. Assuming a budget of $2500-$3000 what would you suggest. Should I be looking at a tube phono preamp vs SS too? Thanks.

I'm a huge Dynavector fan; my XX2 Mk II is an ideal match for my C50. The matching DV step-up would complete the system and hit your budget range. No matter which way you go, good luck & happy listening!
Lyra Delos/Pro-ject Phono Box RS Reference will fit right in your budget; $1,650.00/$999.00 respectively.
If your budget can tolerate the small stretch, you might consider a Herron VTPH-2. I haven't heard anything better. I'd strongly suggest a call to Keith Herron before you buy a different unit.
