recommended phono preamp for $2500?


I am looking to upgrade my AcousTech PH-1 and have a budget of $2500. I am considering the Sutherland 20/20 or Parasound JC3. System:Amp,Spectral 150 series2,pre,Spectral 20 series 2, VPI Aries w/various upgrades and a Classic 3 arm, Avalon Ascendant speakers. Any suggestion appreciated.

Another vote for the K&K, which I have used for nearly 10 years, so it is not maxxed out. Plenty of flexibility, comes in a kit, so you can self build, or Kevin will arrange for a friend to build it for you. He is constantly working to improve performance and makes upgrades available at pretty much cost.
The Bellari VP130 is actually one hell of a good phono stage for MM. Dynamic and warm.
Hi,
Not to change the subject, curious how you liked your
AcousTech PH-1. I have one but my table is not ready yet.
What cartridge are you using ?
Thank you.
I have a VPI scout and recently upgraded to a Parasound JC3+. I whole heatedly recommend this product at that price point.
