What is the BEST phono stage

I own a manley steelhead, & am wondering which phono pre amps are better. I plan on keeping the manley for my current system. My new system will be Basis diamond vacuum hold table, Graham phantom arm, Dynavector XV1S, Mcintosh C2200 tube preamp,pair of MC2000 tube amps, Klipsch Khorn,modded w/ xtreme slope ALK crossovers,and Trachorn. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hey Tjnif,
Raquel is right
Soundsmith is one of the "best" analog cart/phono combination that I've l know of. Is there something better..., possibly . I just haven't heard it yet.
All I can say is this:
If I could afford it right now,
I would be a happy man.

One day .........maybe?
