Best phono preamp for Project Carbon turntable


Hi all. I just bought a Project Carbon TT and need to decide about the phono preamp. Whats the best choice for my TT? I've read some articles about these options:
- Phono Box S
- Cambridge Audio Azur 640P or 651P
- Musical Fidelity X-LP
- Gram Slee Gram Amp 2SE
- Creek OBH8SE
- Bottlehead Seduction
- AES PH-1
- Musical Surroundings Phenomena
- Vista Audio

Is the Phonobox S the best buy in cost-benefit ?

Thank you all.

Of all the above mentioned..I would go with the musical surroundings ..its there more expensive NOVA without the battery. I own the phonobox S and it is warm and wide but it is lacking bass definition and it flavors thesound towards warm and lush rather than detail and attak. Its a good unit for $200 for sure.I am switching to the MS phenom asap.
