Buy the best phono stage you can afford. Matching to the brand of either your turntable or your cartridge is absolutely unnecessary.

Which phono section to buy: match table or cartridge?
Hi All,
I have a Rega P-25 turntable and a Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. Both Rega and Clearaudio make phono stages. Is there an advantage of choosing one over the other? In other words, would if make a difference if I matched the phono stage to the turntable or to the cartridge? I want to stay as much under $1000 as possible. Any other sections I should consider given my gear?
Thanks in advance,Russ
