recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each

i’m using well tempered classic tt and arm.
it’s not heavy arm, think between light to medium ,not sure.
i’m giving this info since i know that it’s important to cartridge match.
the phono should have at list up to 60 db, so i can use MCLO cartridge.
and have several loading and gain settings.

is there any advantage to a low output Mc compare to high, or mid?

not sure if this important but i am listening to variety kinds of music.
jazz, rock , classical

thanks to anyone that will help.

stretch your budget a touch and you will get into the $4000 level by buying value leaders in the $1000 range.

An Audio Technica AT ART9 cartridge competes well with $2K cartridges.

A Lehmann Black Cube SEii phono is a perfect match for the ART9 and also competes with $2K phono preamps.

A little dealing and you could have both for $ 2200 or so.  Well worth the slight stretch.
