table, phono preamp or cartridge?

got my amps and speakers where I want them now to start the down the line of upgrading the analog portion.

Rogue 99 preamp
Odyssey mono blocks
Vandersteens 2ce with matching subs
RP1 w/ Ortofon Blue.

Probably stick with a Rega table when then the time comes to upgrade that.

Was thinking Rouge phono preamp first or cartridge.

Was thinking Ortofon Black.

All input appreciated. This is my first time down this path so want to do it right.

65db gain on a 5mV output cartridge strikes me as excessive. How far up the volume control do you get?

If you like MM carts then you couldn't do better than spending some quality time on Raul's big MM thread. Find one of those recommended carts and enjoy the ride. Or, given your price range, buy an AT 150 ANV MM cart and be done with the cart deliberating part of it.
