Best Phono Preamp for budget system


Anyone have a recommendation regarding a phono preamp. I have an MMF5 and Dynavector 10X5 cartridge playing through an Arcam A85 with phono section.
Sounds very nice but I'm sure the Arcam is limited. All ideas and suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I like tubes with my analog...more space/air and warm harmonics. Music is so much nicer with warmth. (o: You might enjoy the Bellari, or if you have more to spend, a vintage Vacuum Tube Logic or Counterpoint preamp.
As with anything, at some juncture you will arrive at a point of diminishing returns...you'll have to decide when you are content. Some seem to prefer chasing the elusive sonic grail over listening to/being moved by music. For me it's about the music. I have a modest system but it serves the music well. And I can buy more mint, vintage LP's with the savings. (o:
Happy listening,
David
