Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ?


Hi All,
I am currently using an arc ph-3 which is set up for my rega super elys. I just got a new Basis 2500/graham/ruby 2 and find the ph-3 is set too low. I'm going to try clipping in some of the supplied ARC resistors. In searching around I see that quite a few people recommend a solid state preamp with this low output of a cartridge.

What is the best phono stage for a .3mv ruby 2 ?

I have heard that the new lukaschek is quite good with this combination. I also have a used aleph ono on the way.

My system is aleph P/aleph 2/avanti centuries. I do have a vk-5i pre that I'll try with the different phono stages.

Albert, I just restated the facts as they have appeared in print....Power cords make a difference?
The Boulder has 47 dB S/N according to Stereophile or is 38 dB noisier than the Vendetta tested by Audio Magazine about fifteen years ago.....Updated units are still available in a full function preamp made to order.....Time marches backwards :-)
