Best phono preamp in the $ 1000 to $ 2000 range ?

Would you recommend the JLTi standalone or allways in the company of the external PSU ? That raises the price substantially.
Also as far as I know it is quite rare to find it in the used market. I have a Shelter 501 mkII, so your experience is most valuable.
I'm also looking at the x-ono suggestion.
Thanks so far. Would gladly hear more suggestions.
Best,

Thank you for your post as well as to the other posters.
The ZYX is described as a step-up device, not a phono pre.
Is it wrongly described ?

So, my friends, with the products you suggested and some else, my list now includes:

Pass Xono
JLTi mkII (PSU optional)
ASR mini basic
Sim Audio LP 3.5 (PSU optional)
Herron Audio VTPH-MC
Jasmine LP 2.0 SE

Aren’t there any more tube phono preamps to add to the list?
I’m kind of biased against integrated circuits, preferring discrete components (tube or transistor), I admit it’s a bias and probably unfunded.

The Herron is the only tubed component, with a FET front end, I don’t like that it is either mc or mm, not both, so it limits your options in the future, anyway I think it’s a good candidate. JLTi has great reviews, but I don’t know how often it appears second-hand. I’m currently leaning to one of those two options (as I read more I might change my mind).

It would be great if you comment on the list, maybe add some components or perhaps some step-up device as long as it adds to the assigned budget.
