amps,pre amps HELP


Ok Im very new to this vinyl obsession and need some advice,I recently bought a Rega RP1 with performance pack and have a chance to pick up a Jolida JD 9 pre amp at a very good price,my questions are
1- Would I be better off buying a integrated amp and skipping the whole pre amp stage,
2- If I get the Jolida pre what would be the best amp for the next stage
3- If I go with an integrated amp what would be recommended Ive been looking at the Rega Brio
any input will be greatly appreciated and I haven't even started to look at speakers yet

Corin- If you get the Audioengine speakers you mentioned in the other thread, then all you need is the jolida phono stage. The A5+ speakers are powered w volume control.
