phono pre amp choices?


Now I am deciding whether to upgrade my phono section. I am using the phono section on a Belles 28A, which is not bad but, I'm told could be improved upon. As with most of this stuff there are alot of choices.
I see an origin live unit for sale with many adjustments, others that are much more costly with none.
What are the determining factors in a quality phono pre amp? Are they as subjective and based strictly on opinions, or is there a relatively cut and dried, scientific platform, like, you get what you pay for.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the responses. My system is Examplar Audio tube pre amp, Belles 350a mono amps, usher BE-10 speakers, Kuzma stabi s TT. I'm going to be upgrading my cartridge at the same time. Budget is $3K for phonostage, $2K or so for cart. Thanks again.
