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

I"m actually looking at phono pre's too. Not fond of the JC3+ in the systems I've heard them in compared to comparable or lower priced units. That's just me. I still think that you can't go wrong with Audio Research or Aesthetix right now. I haven't loved many of the hyped units out there for some reason. I have been wondering about Whest PS30 RDT if anyone has info. thanks
If a product sounds right, it doesn't have to be tubes, nor does it have to be SS. I listened to one of the best sounding systems I've ever heard today and it was all SS. I've had tubes as well as SS. It's all about making music.
Don't we all have conflicts? We all love what we love. I agree that audio pro's should let us know who they are, but if anyone asks what do you recommend, many will just post what they personally own even if they have' been out in the last few months to listen to a lot of products. I have no problem saying I like something that I don't own as do many others, but in the end it's all about listening for ourselves anyway.
