Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection

I have on order a new VPI Prime turntable. It will be used with a Mac MA-6600 integrated amp and a set of Revel F-30 speakers. Do I go tube vs SS? Looking for suggestions for MC cartridge and phono preamp. Hoping to be in the $2500-$3000 range. Thanks.

I just recently purchased a Ortofon 2m black which is currently in my Miracord 50h Mk II. I plan on putting this in my new VPI. They also recommended the Ortofon Cadenza Black. Retails about $250 more than the 2M Black. I agree phono stage is will give me more bang for the buck now.

Dougdeacon,
Thanks for you insight. Having just ordered a new table in the VPI prime and also have a good MM cartridge I agree the next step is a good phono stage. And your recommendation would be?
