Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp

I recently upgraded to a VPI Classic One turntable with a Lyra Delos cartridge.I am using a Belles 20A phono pre- amp that I have been very happy with but now that I've upgraded the turntable I would like to upgrade the phono pre-amp.I read some nice reviews of the Manley Chinook and was wondering if this would be a significant improvement.

The Manley Chinook should be heard, especially with your Delos.

I've been demoing the Chinook at home for a little over a week and it's amazing with the Delos. I just called my dealer to purchase the Chinook.

I've owned the Steelhead, the Chinook is so close to that same magic and has a variety of loading options for any cartridge. I've been using the stock tubes, I'm certain there's an opportunity to really fine tune the sound with some tube rolling.
