Phono Preamp recommendation for VPI Prime


I just purchased the Prime. Currently have a ortofon 2m black cartridge but envision going to a MC cartridge. Current components are a Mac ma-6600, Revel F-30 speakers. Do I go tube or SS. Some of the ones I have started to research are Lehman Decade, Pass Xp-15, Manley Chinook. Any help sorting through this maze is appreciated.

Thanks for everyone's input. Being new to a lot of this it gives me a lot to think about. The biggest issue is not always having the ability to try a phono stage first. Al I was considering the Rhea but was unaware of the technical issues. My max price is $4000. I think I'm looking for a tube model as all my other equipment is SS. However that being said when you read many of the reviews I'm not sure. This stuff can make your head spin! I can't tell you enough how I love the sound of vinyl. My tastes in music runs from say Led Zeppelin to Ella.
