what phono pre-amp to get?

i have the goldring cartridge that came with it. I'm a vinyl junkie and just gettiing into a high end tt setup. looking to spend under a grand on pre-amp used. What are some possible cartridge upgrades as well. I'm new to the hobby so bare with me. Thanks for the responses

As far as pre's with phono go, the Rogue stuff is good. I'd also recommend the Counterpoint SA-3000 or SA-5000 if you find one used for a decent price.

I have used a Lehman Black Cube and an Audiomat Phono-1 and both were excellent stand alone units that allowed for mm or mc cartridges. The Audiomat was more detailed and more "tube-like" than the cube, but also twice as much.

Look on Hagerman Technology's website. They have a DIY tube pre-amp thats a joke to put together (easy)

All I can say is there trumpet is WOW WOW WoW
