I would go for a moving magnet, and with your budget you can get totl. The most expensive MM cart is the Clearaudio Charisma. It outputs 3.6mV, which should be good for the 46dB setting on your phono pre. I have the Maestro v2 which is fantastic with its boron cantilever and shibata stylus and ebony body. The Charisma has upgraded stylus and tracks exceptionally well.
