Looking for phono preamp suggestions

Hi

i suggest trying the new PS Audio Stellar Phono Amp. They have gone direct so you will pay approximately 50% less, and it can be returned within 30 days no questions asked. 
More importantly it is receiving rave reviews across the board from a number of the most influential and trusted audio writes out there including Michael Fremer from Stereophile. 
I would not make a Purchase based on the reviews of one reviewer, but when there are multiple reviews with similar findings, you should feel comfortable. 
Michael Fremer Uses Uber expensive DartZeel phono and powered amps and he conceded  the Stellar was comparable in the mid-range,  but not quite in the highs  and lows. Further he recommended anyone looking for a phono amp in any $$$ range should listen to it. 
Good Luck

Further to my previous response and suggestion to look at PS Audio. Attached is a link with a number of reviewers comments.

Just to be clear, I am not connected with PS Audio in any way. In my own system I am using Sutherland Duo and it is very good. However it is a nuisance to adjust for impedance and gain as the covers have to be removed and the dip switches adjusted manually. Whereas with the PS Audio it can be done with the remote that comes with it.

As for Ron, my experience in dealing with him echos the other respondent in this thread, he is a wonderful warm person. 
The PS is listed for $2499.

Thanks 

Thank you , 
I will check the ps audio 

Skypunk got it right.  I also now use a Stellar phono pre and I was actually shocked at the improvement over my Lamm LP2.1 Deluxe, costing 4 times as much.  First, it has XLR and RCA, and the PSA designer cared less about measurements and more about listener involvement and SQ and it very much shows. Not sure how the Stellar will pair with the Ayre, but I do know that right now in the phone preamp market, it is the best value and best sounding phono preamp (at least to my ears in my system) under $10-$15K.   

This discussion brings up a question about balanced vs single-ended RCA outputs for mm/mc preamps in general. I understand how a balanced topology works and why, and my whole digital path is balanced, but not the phono stage (my Rega table doesn't have balanced outs). Why are there relatively few balanced options for vinyl as compared to other components?
