Need advice picking a preamp.


So, I have been looking to add a preamp to my setup, right now I am running Bel Canto Dac3, ran directly into (2) Bel Canto Ref1000s. I am wanting to add a preamp that has a good built in phono stage. So far I have been looking at a few different tube preamps from Mcintosh.
C220
C2300
Then the Modwright SWLP.

A bonus for the Mcintosh preamps is that they have good headphone amps.
The C220 only has a MM phono, but is almost half the price here on agon.
The C2300 has many more options, but I am not sure if its worth the extra money.
One other plus the Mcintosh preamps have over the swlp is the balanced inputs/outputs.
One negative of the of the SWLP is it rarely comes up for sale on agon. Although I have heard it is great.

Also one other thing is that all the Bel Canto gear will be replaced over the next year, possibly based on which preamp I choose.

So anyone have any experience with these preamps? Also any other suggestions with built in phono stages within the price ranges of the listed preamps.

you won't be sorry with any of those choices. I don't have one and can't say I have heard one, but the Modwright fans are VERY adament about it's excellence. I have a wonderful Cary Audio SLP98p F1 version with a ton of manufacturer installed upgrades including a great phono section for low output MC cartridges, add that to your list too.

Also, what about ARC? Great preamps.
Thanks for the responses so far. I also forgot to mention I am interested more in tube preamps.
I am very please with the BAT VK3ix. well build and upgradeable.An EXCELLENT preamp
