VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec?

Hi - I'm new to this forum and apologize if this question has been asked before, but any recommendations for a phono pre-amp to go well with a VPI Aries with the JMW10 tonearm and a Lyra Delos cartridge? I'd like to replace my Musical Fidelity V-LPS II. Budget ideally under $1500 but willing to consider something a little more expensive of significantly worth it. Thanks!

Albert,

Whatever you decide to pick up, keep in mind that the Delos' output is .6mV. Just be sure your rig has enough gain. My phono pre has 58 db and my line-stage another 12db. IMO, more is better. Don't go less than what I have. Another 3 to 5 db wouldn't hurt.
