Tube phono pre amps


Awaiting my Origin Live Resolution TT I recently paid for. The Resolution was $1000 more than I anticipated spending for a tt. This puts me financially in a position to spend no more than approximately $1500:for a phono pre amp. Thinking of a tube phono pre to pair with my Willsenton R8 which I love. Listen to Jazz and classical . Any thoughts ? 
Thank You All.

Thanks Hoytis for turning me on to Softone. The few reviews I’ve read by owners all are happy. May pull the trigger in the next couple of days. 

Appreciate all the thoughtful responses. Recently saw a YT video of Herb Reichert talking about a Sun Valley All purpose phono eq . It’s what he uses for his turntable. Anyone have any experience with this phono pre ?  It can be purchased as a kit or fully assembled ( which I would prefer). He also has a review in Stereophile with glowing remarks. 
Thank You one and all.
