Should I get a full funtion preamp or a phono stage


Currently using an integrated amp,I am thinking of assemblying an analog set,my question is should I get a full funtion preamp or should I just get a phono stage and plug straight into my integrated amp.I amthinking of getting a Cat ultimate preamp or a Herron vtph-1 phono stage with a Nottingham spacedeck or wilson benesch full circle Turntable as I can`t audition this gear at home so does anybody have any opinions on this equipment.I am currently using a Jadis Da-60 integrated amp and a pair of Wilson Benesch actor spks, cdp is a Proceed and cables are Coincident cst-1.TIA

Depends on three things:

1) how much you like vinyl and how many recordings you already have
2) what kind of music you listen to
3) your wallet, man!

Any audio salesman can tell you this...you need to find the answers.

If I had the cash I would go for a Klyne outboard...
