Musical Fidelity MX VYNL or Aural Thrills "Seranade" phono pre?

Looking to add new phono pre to my system...Budget $1k-$1500. To be paired with a Scout Jr. and Ortofon 2M Black...Any opinion or experience with these to picks? I also am interested in the Parasound JC Jr. but $1500 is a budget stretch unless I can be convinced it's that much better than the other two at $500 less...
