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.

All in my system details. Great sound for around $1000 total. You can get the AT from 2juki on eBay and the Jasmine on amazon.

If you have a lot of pre RIAA records check out a Graham Slee Era Gold V (they have varying EQ) If you want neutrality check out the Whest 2 (I have the the PS 0.2 and the 2 uses the same internals. I preffered it to an original Tom Evans the Groove If you want MM get a cartidgeman conductor. If you want an MC get a Shelter 501 mk2 (I think they are now mark 3)
