Recommendations for a Phono Preamp

Can anyone recommend a suitable phono preamp for the following set up:

Miyajima Zero mono, output 0.4mV
Miyajima ETR-Mono SUT which I set at Input coil 120 Ohm inpedence, Output coil 3000Ohn Impedence, for a gain of 28.7db
Pass XP20 Line Stage Preamp.

I would appreciate suggestions for phono preamp between the Miyajima SUT and the Pass preamp (with maybe ~ 42dB plus gain?). It's primary characteristic should be wide soundstage, holgraphic (yes! if you doubt that with mono you have never heard the Zero), I like lots of air and space between the performers in the sounddtage.

Any suggestions?

What is your budget? If it’s kind of mid level, I love my EAR 834p. Take into consideration the one with the attenuator / volume knob. I like it so much that I scratch built one with upgraded components and more options like adjustable resistance and capacitance, etc., etc.

K&K audio have some very interesting phono stages that are worth checking out too.
