Solid State Phono Preamp Suggestions $3k-$4k


Any recommendations on a solid state preamp in the $3,000 - $4,000 price range new?  

I have yet to purchase a TT so I'm flexible on that and cartridge but leaning towards a VPI Scoutmaster with Orotofon Cadenze Bronze cartridge. The limiting factor is my Bryston BP26 preamp which has an input impedance of only 10k ohms.

220 ohms (balanced) into 10K ohms should be absolutely no problem.  Why do you think it might be?  Who recommended 1:100 ratio?  Typical recommendation is 1:10, minimum.  Also, are you taking into account the input impedance of the Bryston in balanced mode? Because it might be 20K ohms, not 10K. Bryston are not very forthcoming about stating the input impedance of their high level inputs, but after downloading the owners manual, I did see that the TAPE IN input, which is single-ended, has an impedance of 10K ohms.  This suggests that the balanced inputs would be in fact 20K ohms.
Thank you  @allhatbach54 and @lewm ,  I may be misinformed. I was aware of the recommendation of 1:10 when it comes to your amp and preamps but read somewhere that 1:100 was the recommendation when dealing with matching up your phono preamp with your preamp.  

I reached out to Herron as I was very interested in the VTPH-2A given the rave reviews on this site and others but he did not recommend pairing the VTPH-2A (400-500 ohm output impedance) or any tube based preamp for that matter with the Bryston preamp.  

@ericsch Thank you for the heads up.  In the reviews I've read on the JC3 they did mention the fixed MC gain. If I do go down that road it will be with eyes wide open on the cartridge limitations. 
64 dB gain is enough for all but the very lowest output cartridges. Any cartridge down to 0.2 mV will work fine.
If you want to get into very expensive low output, low impedance cartridges the Channel D Lino C would be the best as it is a current mode phono stage.
