Phono stage ideas

Another Tube preamp that works very well with Halo Parasound is the Lector ZOE.. I have one with two JC1's and it's a fantastic combo. 
Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst
I don't know the Thiel 3.6 but I have the Thiel CS2.4 and I'm finding the Lector ZOE as perfect preamp for the Thiel sound.It's very detailed but with tube warm and sweetness. 
Tube preamp for Pass Labs amp

Kleos Sibilance
I have had for some time the Michell Tecnoarm with Benz LP and I have found the combo magical .. obviously for the price of the Tecnoarm.If you are interested I'm selling the Michell Tecnoarm that's in perfect condition as a new one.
