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!

I`m about 8 albums in on a Rega P10/Apheta 3 combo using a Herron VTPH-1 MC plus phono stage, the predecessor to the VTPH2`s
It`s sounding very nice running wide open. 
Nice left to right imaging, nice depth too, I could go on...but imo a Herron would be a nice choice.
Don`t see how you could go wrong with a Herron.
