phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue

Thanks for your advise in advance.
I have a Creek OBH 18 which is giving some hum and Rf noise. Cables are KAB Jazz & Blues. I put together a budget office system and now have the disease to eliminate the small annoyances, I know it won't end anytime soon. I would like some advice on replacing the phono stage in within a budget of 500-600. Music is primarily rock, alt, pop jazz.

I would suggest a used Dynavector P75. Very flexible. Very sweet sounding.

A used Graham Slee ERA Gold V is a fantastic sounding phono preamp, very transparent, natural, dynamic, absolutely no noise.

Second the Dynavector P75.... I just love mine.. It is Fast and Dynamic with punchy bass and great detail... Very much like listening to LIVE music.

The Bellari 130 is a nice tubed phono stage. I have one for an Ortofon Black and enjoy the sound.
