looking for pre phono for Thorens 160


Hi all,

I need a Pre phono for Thorens 160.
The bufget is a bit tight but anyway I don't think this turntable deserves more than that (with all the respect of course).
The option I thought about:
PROJECT TUBE BOX II
PROJECT TUBE BOX SE 1
BELLARI 129 - is the cheaper but as i understand it worth any dollar and even can compete with much expensive phonostage.

they all based on tubes ,
What would u choose from this list?
Thanks
avico

I have the Tube Box SE and love it. It rolls tubes nicely. They are about $375 used here on Audiogon. I have heard the Bellari can have some hum issues, do a search on here.
