Advice on phono pre


Looking to upgrade my phono section, and seeking some guidance.
Have a VPI HW jr, TNT platter, SAMA, SDS, JMW 10 with a New Zepher 2 cartridge.
I'm considering the Parasound JC3+ and the LKV 2-SB, at the moment.
Any suggestions/guidance as to a preference and why?
Looking to get a VPI Prime very soon , if that would make a difference.
Currently using a Simaudio LP3.5.
Thanks

Zd542,
That is a tough question. I will probably try a MC in the future,
as I'm coming from a ZYX Yatra HO.For now, tho, the Sound-smith is what I'm going to use. It's new,still breaking in...
Need to upgrade my system info. Have a ref 3 preamp now. Would be interested in the sim power supply but can't get one to listen to as I'm rather far from a dealer.
Well, there is no doubt whatever about the passion members of this forum have, that's for sure!..Think it's time we all took a "Time out" , as mom used to say to my brothers and I when things got a bit intense!!
I do appreciate he ideas put forward, and don't have a problem with the suggestion of Peter's phono stage. As a newer manufacturer I'm sure it's tough to get the word out , as there are so many offerings, so to me it's ok.
Everyone has an opinion on this , and I think it's been aired well.

There are so many people developing electronics now, and many no doubt do so extremely well, that I'd prefer to see them encouraged . Maybe the next "Ralph" is just around the corner!.
And we'd be denied the chance for him/her to get to market, as well as having their talent quashed by simply not being "found".

Anyway, the search continues...sometimes the hunt is the best part!.
Thanks , all.
