I need help and phonostage suggestions


To my fellow Audiogon members:
I need some help. I need some members to give me some suggestions on possible phonostages to consider auditioning or purchasing. I am selling an Acurus P-10 (and I have no idea why other than the "change things bug" got me)and I have no idea what to get. I am running a Linn LP-12 with a Benz Ace (medium) cartridge. The Linn has an Ittok arm. Amplification is a pair of Lumley Signature tubed monos (150WPC/4 ohms)and the preamp is a C-J Premier 16. Speakers are Peachtree D5 (great little speakers!)and cables/wire is AP Solo Crystal or some Morrow cables as well.
So, what say you all? Budget is about $1500 or so but I will stretch up some.
Thank you. Also, I am not fussy - tubes or solid state phonos are fine.

A quick follow up; listening to Radiohead's King of Limbs last night, the surround sound effect that the B2B provides, which I had not heard before, is simply amazing for a two channel set up. This must be due to phase coherent and low level detail retrieval. It was like hearing that album for the first time.
Thanks Stevecham, I did read that. Quite a review, glad you are enjoying it!
I have a pair of B2B-1. Each B2B-1 unit is for MONO operation to turn it into a fully differential amplification device . I could not be happier. I really have nothing to compare it to as it was a single operation at first and then I purchased another one. I also have PBN classic turntable. The turntable is simply beautiful.
Listen to rock music
My system consists
Krell Kct
Krell Kps 28 cast
Krell mono amps 450MCX cast
PBN Classic turntable vahalla balanced to B2b-1's
B2B-1 pair vahalla to kct
B&W 803 not diamond
Triton / Typhon
I would benefit from a speaker up grade But am very happy
with the set up.
