Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC


Just got a good deal on a new Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 cartridge. I have a vintage preamp that has a MC input but is spec’d for a lower output MC back in the ‘70s. I also want to be able to have the flexibility in settings if/when I change out the cartridge.

I’ve looked at the PS Audio phono preamp and the Manley Chinook both seem well reviewed. Any others I should be considering and I’m not opposed to buying used.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

@photomax, was considering the Aria but other units appeared more flexible? Not sure.

@bobedwards101 I’ll check out the AVA hadn’t come across that one.

@au_lait doesn’t look like they are distributed in the US. I forgot to mention my locale in the original post. The unit does look appealing though.
I’ve owned the Chinook and the PS Audio.  High marks for both; I recommended the Chinook to my father recently for his MM.  Chinook does give you what you want from tubes, and the PSA gives you what you want from SS, with a hint of tubiness.  But for MC I have to give the nod to the PS Audio based on the ease of switching gain and load settings on the fly with a remote.  That is more than just a convenience; it allows you to judge the best load from your listening position.  I loved the Chinook with an MM cart, but had trouble dialing it in with an MC.  (That said, I’ve moved back to a tube phonostage, but it cost me).
