Phono Preamp question

No need to worry about "too much tubes" in your system. A tubed phono stage will work fine with your tubed line stage pre. For a budget option you might consider Shannon Park's Budgie Phono Stage, vailable on eBay for $499. It's moving magnet only (unless you add a SUT), but does offer 16 different resistance settings (from 6.4K to 81.2K) to tailor the sound to your cartridge. Uses two 6DJ8 or 6922 tubes.

Any suggestion on a good tubed phono preamp that goes well with the rega RP3 and elys2 cartridge. I can spend up to $1500 and would consider a used one as well.

Thanks
