Thanks for the responses. To try to address some of the questions:
I listen mostly to jazz, rock and blues.
I don't have a phone stage - I'd like to think a phono stage in an Ayre or Boulder preamp (or other), but I'd be happy to look in whatever direction.
I'm somewhat flexible on price, but lets say the budget is $4-5K for the phono stage and cartridge (total).
Speakers are the Dynaudio Saphires and amps are SimAudio W-10's. Preamp will probably be upgraded, either to the Boulder or Ayre mentioned above, or other.
