Choosing a Good Phono Pre for a Rega RP-1 with a Denon DL-110.

Sorry, wanted to mention that I am looking in $1k to 2K range.

Your guys comments are spot on.  Thanks.  I am looking to upgrade my TT as my budget allows down the road.  I just have a deal on the upgraded Rega RP-1 for just under $500 to get things rolling.  I reason, that after our family's trip to Europe I can justify getting a Rega RP-3 or other TT early next year. I guess my choices are down to an ARC or Lehmann Black Box SE II.  I saw some good deals on ARC phonos that could be had for under $2k.  I like the idea of tubes but want easy adjustment of the phono which the high end ARCs and Lehmann offer.  I appreciate your ideas.

Mofimadness:  I actually have that very listing in my watch list.  Thanks for the remarks.

I just wanted to tell all of you how happy I was with your comments. I just purchased a ARC PH-6 listed here on AudiogoN and am waiting for delivery.  I spoke with an ARC tech yesterday that stated that the Denon DL-110 was in the sweet spot spot for the 58 db gain that the PH-6 offers.  I will give an update when I have a chance to get everything set up in my ref rig.  Again, thanks for all the helpful comments.

Hey gang, I just picked up a Rega RP-10 with an RB2000 tone arm.  If anyone has a recommendation on Cartridges, I'm all ears.  All of your comments have really made this journey into analog enjoyable.
