Good Phono Stage for Benz Micro Ace.

I was wondering what brands of phono stages have synergy with the Benz Cartridges. I have thought about tubes vs solidstage and I think that I would like a solidstate phonostage. I am using a Conrad Johnson Cav-50 at the moment and love the amp, but it is plenty warm and smooth at the moment (using a NAD PP2!) and I like the bass that the SS phono stage offers.

Cartridge - Benz Micro Ace MC 2.5mV

Table - Vpi Scout

budget of 750
Thanks!

Aqvox 2CI.I use this with a PL2.Have heard this unit combined with a Benz Ruby with excellent results.Of course the budget would need to move toward $995.

The Conrad Johnson EV-1 is absolutely wonderful with my 2.5mV ACE - with no problems in the bass dept. If you want SS, I think the Conrad Johnson EF-1 would be great. Also, a new or used Primare R20.
