???Phono Preamp for Rega RP3 W/Elys2 ????

Just purchased a Rega RP3 with Elys2 and looking for reccomendations for a decent preamp. My system includes the following;
Paradigm Studio 100 mains and servo sub
Parasound preamp
Theta Dreadnaught Amp
Kimber Kable thruout.
Have been searching on line for suggestions. Currently considering Jolida jd9, Cambridge Audio 651p, and a few others. Tube vs SS??? Prefer to keep around the $500 ballpark. Thank you all for your opinions. Im a vinyl virgin and a bit nervous diving in.

Processor is Parasound C2. I had a Classe' SSP-35 mk2 then moved to the Classe' ssp-75 but had nothing but issues with it hence the "downgrade" to the Parasound that has performed flawlessly.

Ok, everyone has missed the boat here with suggestions....1st off the turntable is awesome.Bearing in mind the costs of the other components in the system and type, I fully recommend the Musical Fidelity V-LPS MKII at $200.00 it is a perfect choice for your system.It will out perform or work as well as all these others. Good Spinning!

Thanks Mattmiller. Leaning towards the V-LPS mkii or the jolida jd9 at the moment. Jolida runs $570 new whereas the MF will run around $320 ish with the PSU.

Just an alert...the Pangea P100 power supplies are now 69 bucks (I have 2 of the full price ones), and they work really well with a Cambridge 640P.
