Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose?

Audio Research Reference Phono 10 is probably my end game. The thing sounds fantastic! And am totally happy. 

FM Acoustics RESOLUTION SERIES 223 PHONOMASTER.

Seems similar to the Parks Audio Puffin.

i would agree about the cat legend phono if you have a conventional cartridge,but the ds audio optical system-phono stage($3500) and cart($2500) of course run into my cat line stage gives the cat phono/line lyra atlas or vdh colabri a run for the money.

I've had the Rogue Audio Ares tube phono amp for years and loved it.  You can really dial in the exact settings for your cart.  But a couple of days I sent it off to have it upgraded to the Ares II Magnum.  Can't wait to year the improvement I've read about.  Nick Fitzsimmons at Rogue even sent me a prepaid (by me) UPS label from an outfit they use called Pirate Ship.  Saved me about 40% on the insured cost of sending the amp back to them.
