Which Phono Pre?

Thanks all for your thoughts.  Very much appreciated.  I don't have any dealers nearby, but will definitely be making the rounds once the shows start up again soon.

@ chakster - what cartridge would you recommend for my TT/tonearm combo?

@ analogheaven - I’ll let you know once I get it setup and dialed-in

Again, thanks everyone for your thoughts.  Great to have a place like this to get great opinions on esoterica.  

@rauliruegas - the tonearm and cartridge are on order.  I currently have a Pass Labs XP-17 phono pre, but want a phono pre that can handle two carts and has balanced output.

I committed to the Pass Labs XP-27. Also going to let the Koetsu RSP battle it out with a Soundsmith Hyperion and pick a winner. Unfortunately in that $$$ stratosphere, I can’t keep both. FWIW, I’ll report my impressions in a few weeks.

I appreciate everyone’s great feedback.

@rdk777 - I’ve got the Pass Labs XP-27. Made sense to match it up with my Pass Labs INT-250 and it sounds fantastic.
