Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC


Just got a good deal on a new Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 cartridge. I have a vintage preamp that has a MC input but is spec’d for a lower output MC back in the ‘70s. I also want to be able to have the flexibility in settings if/when I change out the cartridge.

I’ve looked at the PS Audio phono preamp and the Manley Chinook both seem well reviewed. Any others I should be considering and I’m not opposed to buying used.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

@revreed if you do a search in Positive-feedback online you will find 3 or 4 reviews on the GN PH10.
Happy reading
Look into the Gold Note PH10 it's extremely flexible and sounds wonderful. I got one new for under 1300 add the power supply and you're at around the 2k mark. I think it will impress.
