Phono pre recommendations for Technics SL1210M5G


From any Technics TT owners (running a 1210M5G, myself) I'd like to know what phono-preamp you are using. Currently have a Lehman Black Cube. Thinking that upgrading my phono-pre might be good bang for the buck. Considering a tube-based phono-pre. Budget not final but might be up to $1200. Cartridge is a KAB modified Stanton (nuded cantilever). My system is posted. If you have other recommendations, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tvad and Edo -
Tvad, your favorable comments in a past post are the reason I picked up the Lehman. I bought one used here on A'gon and while it wasn't an SE it was certainly a step up from the NAD PP-1 I had. I'll definitely put a Heed Quasar on my short list.

You make a good point about flexibility...I should have noted that I'd like something able to handle both MM and MC (low output if possible)

Edo - I'll be very interested in your thoughts regarding how these 3 pre-amps (Gram, Project, Heed) sound to you.
Looking forward to a followup, if you will.

Thanks again to you both.
Presently, I use a .25mV (low output) cartridge with the Heed Quasar.

The Heed Quasar was recommended by Audiofeil International, and I
auditioned it through Blackbird Audio Gallery, which was my most local Heed
dealer. I'm certain either of these gentlemen can point you in the direction of
a dealer who could provide a unit for audition.
Msq - thanks for the input. I'll have to check out your components to identify the phono-pre you use - don't recognize the brands apart from Bozak.
