My advise is to purchase the Classic 3 instead of the 2, then install your Audio Note IQiii, it will work fine. Eventually you may want to invest in a MC cartidge and a tubed phono preamp. But for now your IQiii and Simaudio phonostage will work just fine.
And, uh, don't forget to buy your wife that bottle of bubbly she love so much.
