Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3


I am looking for a phono stage that let my Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 discover its full potential. What are your thoughts driven by experience? I tried new Chord Huey ($1495) but I have a feeling its an underperformer considering Rega's $7k price tag. Similar situation with Rega Aria - will it be enough? Any Aria users out there? 
The Rega's top of the line Aura is severely overpriced in US and honestly I am not sure I fully justify spending that much on a phono stage.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

If you can't afford the Herron, the Gold Note PH-10 or the Parasound JC3 Junior are excellent.  I opted for the Junior over the PH-10, having owned both.
Sorry, I didn't mean anything against your post.  I just happened to post mine after you posted yours.
