Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's


I am looking for a phono preamp that will work with LOMC cartridges.   Budget up to $2500 but would be quite happy spending significantly less.  I have about $10k invested in my table/arm so any appropriate suggestions would be appreciated.   New or used would be fine.

I also use the PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. I don't have much experience with higher end phono preamps and I asked for advice on a thread in this forum. For me, it was the ease of use coupled with the good reviews that I saw. I was sick of having to open up the side or top of the unit and figure out which tiny lever to push for the LOMCs that I use. The PS phono preamp has a remote for the settings and you can make changes on the fly to figure out what works best. I've tried 2 different LOMC and I am very happy with the results. 

@dz13 Same experience here -- PS Audio Stellar and love the ease of use and the sound is phenomenal. Very happy with it.

Do you equate the resonance frequency generated by the inductance of the cartridge being in parallel with the capacitance at the inputs with RFI?

@lewm Yes, since it is commonly at MHz frequencies. Hard to put it as anything else!
