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.

for cartridge i'm throwing here several brands.
clear audio , van den hull , hana, audio technica , dynavector , 
think to go on mc with 0.4 1.0 mv output.  
 

An alternative might be something like a SoundSmith MI cartridge in a higher output?

I did end up getting a new phono stage, but I was leaning towards the SoundSmith.

ifi also caught my eye.

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.

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

The jist of it is that less wire in the coil means lower output voltage but lighter mechanism hence more detail and faster response. Other factors notwithstanding.
