Phono preamp for new Klimax LP12


I'm thinking of purchasing a new Klimax LP12.  Down to a Urika II or Luxman EQ-500 for the phono preamp.  Any thoughts/suggestions on which way to go.  Rest of the system is Klimax DSM/Katalyst, Luxman M900u stereo amp, Monitor Audio PL300ii speakers.  I listen to a lot of female vocalists, jazz/blues, classical, mostly mellow stuff.  Room is 17'x17'x8.5'.  Thanks for your suggestions and/or insights!

Very good choice with LP12.
I would also see a fully restored EMT930 for that price. It comes with inbuilt tube phono stage too.

Vs the Luxman EQ500, also check out Avid Pulsare II. A more straightforward design which compliments the Linn sound. Luxman gets into the exotic audiophile kind of sound imo.
