Hi! If it's not too late I'd recommend the Parasound PPH-100 phono preamp. Believe it or not it retails for only $129 but I've seen mint ones with their original boxes sell on eBay for around $70-80. The NAD is OK but the Parasound seemed to open up the soundstage a bit and the bass is more defined. I actually bought both and tried them out for a few days and took the NAD back. The Rega with a Super Elys cartridge certainly helps:-)
