What phono preamp are you using?

I'm really enjoying my Luxman/Ortofon front end. Turntable is the PD 171a with a Cadenza Black and I love my Luxman EQ-500. The one modification that I did was changing the LED from blue to green. My little trick was applying a tiny bit of transparent tape over the LED and coloring it with a yellow highlighter!

Aesthetix Io Eclipse with dual power supplies. Soundsmith Hyperion, Soundsmith Sussaro MKII, Benz LPS, Benz Ruby Z. 
Hyperion is divine with the Aesthetix, or Aesthetix is divine with the Hyperion. Either way, I am done. Future mods will be more experimentation with other cartridges and tonearms.

Soundsmith Sussurro cartridge into a Herron phono preamp, then (similar to you) into a Raven Osprey integrated.
