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 have the Rega rp-10 and Apheta 2 with the Herron for a year.  The combination is rock solid.  So glad I didn’t cheap out and settle for less. Still grinning after 300 plays.  Ask for a discount.  
At least you know what you want/don’t-want now.  I’m a vinyl addict and feel exactly the same toward digital.
