Looking for a suggestion for a good Phono Stage

I have a Luxman PD264 with a Grado Cartridge and an Audio Research SP-4 pre-amp. My amp is a Classe CA-200 and I have B&W 802 Matrix Series 2 speakers. If I ever replace my TT I would probably go with a higher end Rega.

Which Grado are you talking about and what are the specs, like out put and impedance? How much do you want to spend? What are you looking for from this Phono stage the ARC doesn't give you? I am sure if you specify these things the analog guys will help you.

Klyne 6 or Klyne 7 Phono.

Mechans- I think the cartridge is a Grado Green Prestige. I would probably upgrade the cartridge at some point. I don't believe the particular ARC SP4 I have has a built in phono stage. I believe ARC put out an SP4-A that had the phono stage. I don't want to spend much more than $200, either new or used. I do have a fair collection of vinyl, but most of my investment is CD.

That budget kind of limits things, I can't think of anything other than a Bellari with it's single tube, sorry.
