phono pre amp giant killer?

I'm in the market for a used phono pre amp. I'm considering the pro-ject tube box II and the clear audio nano (because of some positive reviews and the fact that I use a Clear audio Vertuoso Wood Cartridge). My question is how much do you need to spend on a used phono pre amp in order to get to the level of truly top flight performance? My budget was going to be 350 but that may change with this thread.

thanks

Thanks for the input. I know my system is askew. I was going to sell everything and then decided to keep my sources. I have a peachtree decco and era 5 speakers. They are good for the price point. I listen to bluegrass, country, classical, hawiian and world music.

I saw a ps audio III on the gon. Is that similar to the Gcph?

Thanks for the advice on the Dynavector p75 and the Gram Slee Era Gold mk v. I'll be looking into those.

Thanks T bone,

I was just looking at the possibility of the Bottlehead Seduction. What is the likely hood that I would screw that up? How much work is it to build?

Thanks to all for the posting. I decided to go with the Seduction with the c4s upgrade. Any Tube rolling advice for this setup?

Thank again
Andy
