Rblnr,
My system is similar to yours. Audio research Ref 3, Audio research VM220 Mono's, Wilson Audio Sophias.
My table is the TW Acustic Raven One and I use the Dynavector XX2MkII.
My phono pre is the Modwright SWP 9.0 se. It's a terrific piece. Dynamic, touch of warmth with good frequency extremes. Great soundstage. Quiet.
They appear occasionally for slightly less than 2K depending on tubes and upgrades.
