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.

Audio Technica AT33PTG/II with Sutherland TZ Vibe 🎶

Run with twisted pair cable terminated with RCAs is ideal even though the latest Locos use RCA inputs which even accept Rega wiring schemes.

With a transimpedance or current input phono stage such as Sutherland’s TZ Vibe, the lower output MC cartridges typically exhibit a lower internal coil generator impedance which benefits greatly to maximize current flow (music delivery).
