Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp?


Hello again,
I have a Project 9 with a Dynavector X-H high output cartridge connected to my Musical Fidelity XLPS-v3 by Synergistic Looking Glass active cables. I'm driving all this with Rogue Audio 150 monoblocks through a Rogue Audio 99 pre amp and Martin Logan SL3's. My system sounded bright at first but after about 150 hours of use warmed up quite a bit. The Musical Fidelity is kinda warm but dry. I have also tried the PS Audio phono pre amp that had way more detail but was a little edgy and lacked mid-range warmth. I'm looking to spend about $1ooo, hopefully less. Any recommendations?

Viper that Dodd is gorgeous! Is that a burl wood front?
Zeal what about the Dynavector P75 with the 20XL, must be good synergies there?
Viper when you tested the P75 was it with a Dynavector cart? I understand the the P75 has an "enhanced" mode that works particularly well with their LO Carts. This is a reason why I'm leaning heavily in favour of it for my 20XL cart.
Viper, I also tested the P75 Mk2 with a HO cart (10X5) and it didn't sound great either. However, my understanding is that it really shines in enhanced mode with their LO carts.
