Back to vinyl need phono stage help!


Recently back in the vinyl game since the eighties! Sota sapphire VI>Origin Live silver>Hana EH. My backend is a Primaluna Evo 400>Pass Labs XA30.8>Ascend Acoustics towers. Musical tastes from Porcupine Tree to Loreena McKennitt!! Looking for phono stage help! Would take musical and dynamics over analytical any day of the week!! Sutherland KC vibe is what's been recommended to me. Price range would be around 1k to 1500. Of course there's always wiggle room lol!
Thanks✌️

I agree with going with a Sutherland.  As someone said all he does is phonostages (after founding Martin Logan) and his focus is black backgrounds.  Stretch for the 20/20 LPS version- used or demo is not a far stretch and it’s quite remarkable.  
+1 on musical surroundings Nova III. I'm running a low output MC cartridge but it can be set for MM as well. Will allow you room to grow both with regard to cartridge as well as, as another user mentioned, by getting the linear power supply which makes it dead quiet and improved details. About 1500 new. The phenomena is a step down but also a great unit. 
the Nova is super flexible and hyper neutral

to the Op i love your music ;-) 
Wow, there are a lot of phono stages out there. I got a Musical Fidelity M6 Vinyl. Running Parasound JC2 with Primaluna Dialogue 7 monoblocks. I have 3 different cartridges that I switch out depending on music. The M6 stores all 3 settings so I only have to change the selection. It is also one heck of a pre. Here is Upscales link. They will knock some off if you ask. https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/phonostages/products/musical-fidelity-m6-vinyl-phono-stage
