Advice on Phono Setup

After many years I am returning to analog. I have a Thorens 321 MKII with a Sumiko arm. I need a new cartridge and phono pre-amp. The rest of my system includes Vandersteen 2CEs (with a Vandy sub), an Aragon Soundstage and an Aragon 8008x3 amp.

I would be willing spend as much as $1500 on the cartridge and pre-amp. Some of the things that have been suggested to my by a local place are a Goldring cartridge, a Linn Adikt cartridge and a Rogue Stealth pre.

Any thoughts or recommendations? I am open to purchasing a used pre.
