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!

Full potential will be with the Aura- it was designed for the purpose.
Imo, one of ( if not the most ) important component in LP playback is the phono stage . Matching the phono pre to your cartridge and having a quality interconnect to your preamp is the key to maximizing your sound quality. Rega has produced the perfect partner to your cartridge and turntable- I would not underestimate what their R&D has brought to fruition...
At least give it a listen....
