Phono stage


Hello Friends
I'm close to Nirvana, re phono stages, but want a bit more juice, in the bass (SLAM), and a sweeter treble, that won"t make my ears bleed, just kidding, yes, on some recordings some recordings, it is a bit bright, I bought a used PS Audio GPH, that has helped, but still, want a phono stage, that will take me to the next level, don't let me wrong, the PS Audio, is great!!, but I think, I could do better!!, I'm on a pension, so the mega, expensive, units, is out of my my price range!!, I have searched the web!!, below is what, according, to reviews, I just need guidance!!
1. RCM Sensor
2. TW acoustics
3.Monk phono stage
4. Herron VTPH-2
5.Liberty  B2 ( I'm not sure, if a tube unit, will give me slam,)
6. Mc Tavish  design(tube)
7. Decware ZP3 (tube)
8. Nagra VPS, or BPS
Friends
What is your thoughts??
Concluding"
Bass is where I'm coming from!!, with a smooth treble, but with nice cymbels
Thanks

You owe it to yourself to check out the EAR 834P, a tube phono stage that provides plenty of bass slam plus a to-die-for midrange and top end.

I’m surprised I hardly ever see any recommendations for the Aesthetix Rhea Signature. It’s very versatile with both se, as well as balanced connectors, a demagnitising function and has just about all the loading and output selections u could ever want.  It has rich bottom, clear highs and mids.  With low noise tubes it kicks butt.  I love mine going into the Calypso Signature, then into SS mono blocks.  
I guess I add to the gold note ph10 vote even though I only got mine yesterday!
Early days but very flexible and should be able to match up well with most preamp or integrated.
Ok just ordered the Goldnote PH10 from Sounds Of Silence for $1295
Should have it in a few weeks not in stock.
