Phono preamp & Cartridge? for Sota Millennia/SME 5


I just bought a Sota Millennia w/ SME 5 tonearm. I would greatly appreciate if someone could make some suggestions on what is a good phono preamp and cartidge match for my system. I would like a neutral sound.

To give you a better sense, my current system is Sonus Faber Cremona speakers, REL B1 subwoofer run by VTL 150S tube amp and Cary SLP 05 tube preamp.

Looking to spend less than $4500 for each Phono and Cartidge. Some have suggested Dynavector xv-1 and Sutherland PHD phono. Also open to lower price suggestions.

I have heard the Sota Millennia with an Art Audio Viny One (which I own) driving a pair of Green Mountain Audio's C-3's I second the ZYX airy 3. Pick both up used here and be under your budget. A great combo.
Good luck
