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.

I’m running an Audio Technica OC9XML into a Darlington Labs MP-7 with an SUT (all for under you budget) and it sounds sweet to my ears. You can probably go up to a Hana SL or even stretch up to an Art9.

Also waiting for DL’s new active/head amp, which just came out and looks very promising.
