phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze

hello need some input . I am looking to get back to my vinyl, I have a kenwood kd650 spinner with a grace 707 tone arm. I need a phono preamp and have been looking at the sim audio 110lp v2, arcam r phono,  musical surroundings phenomena II and the last one is the project phono box ultra 500 which does not have any reviews I can find .I would like to stay solid state so are any of these preamps a good choice? if so which is better? there are so many on the market it is hard to pick one out. I would like it to be adjustable also . thanks for the help.

Hi,

I have the Sim Audio 110lp v2 and it seems to be working good.

I am running it with a 2m Blue Ortofon cart.

I have not used any other phono stages, so I can't compare and contrast but it seems to be a solid unit with good reviews.

It does not have a power button, so the blue light on the front will stay on. Simaudio recommends to just leave it on 24/7. I have gotten used to the light, so it does not bother me.

The unit has dip switches on the bottom to accommodate different carts (MM and MC).

Hope that helps.
