Pro-Ject phono preamps?

Does anyone have experience or opinions on the Pro-Ject phono preamps? I'm interested in possibly getting the solid state RS or the tube DS. I'm a bit torn as I'd like the superior resolution of the RS but would want the lushness and holographic sound tubes offer.

I also considered the Ear 834 but thats a big jump in price. Also, as odd as it may sound, I'm completely downsizing, hence my attraction to the mini sized Pro-Ject line.

Unhelpful but humorous. But why 003? I think Mid003 may be better as I'm not downsizing to that degree.

Thanks Grinnell. Unfortunately the Hagerman does not accept MC (I have a DL103).

Thanks Chayro.

Matt, thank you, just curious, have you heard Pro Ject phono preamps? May I ask if you have heard the RS phono preamp? It is supposedly a higher range model than the SE and DS series.

Neko, I am leaning towards the RS. I think at the end of the day, I'd prefer accuracy over the tube glow. A buffer is a good idea, I could use it when I crave tubes (at other times I wouldn't want to compromise the signal path). I was actually planning to get one to put between my tuner and preamp. Any recommendations for a good small tube buffer that won't degrade the signal too much?

Thanks
