Which phono preamp?

Hi All,

I am considering getting back into vinyl, Any suggestions on best phono preamp for the money? I was deciding between the internal phono amp from Rogue (I have a Rogue 99 preamp) or something like a Lehmann Audio Black Cube, They both go for about $500-$600. FYI--the rest of my system includes a BAT VK 200, Cary 303, Dynaudio 1.3 MkII, Nordost interconnects and Harmonic Technology Pro-11 Speaker cable.

Thanks

I had a black cube when I bought my 99 w/phono.
I did A/B with a Y connector.The 99 phono (stock tubes) won by a slim margin.Slightly better inner detail.
I then spent $200 on some killer NOS tubes for the 99 phono.
After that the 99 CRUSHED the black cube in all areas.
