Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range

@jl35 Thank you! Diminishing returns set in quickly for phono stages! Money would be better spent on a cartridge upgrade! The OP should consider the Hana SL for ~ $700. That and the Mani would keep the cost ~ $1K.

I have the Sutherland KC Vibe.    It's a great sounding unit.   Super quiet too

I’ve owned a Sutherland insight, moon lp110 and IFi iPhono3 black label in that price range. The moon lp110 was a while ago so I don’t remember a lot about it to be honest, but it was the least impressive of the ones I’ve owned. The Sutherland was excellent - warm and full sounding, more traditionally ‘analog’ if you know what I mean. Out of all of them, my favourite - to my taste and system - was the iFi. Detailed, clear and transparent, with incredible black backgrounds. It was super versatile, with a range of different gain and load settings. And I t was the size of a few packs of cards so easily hidden. 
That is my experience, but it kinda goes without saying that demoing - at a dealer or better, in your own system - is the best way to decide. Synergy of components and the wildcard impact of your personal tastes and room is often overlooked or underrated.

Do a little research on the Hagerman Trumpet. It is currently 1300,.00 and on sale 15% off Black Friday. Hard to find used. I sold mine as soon as I posted it. 

Have you considered the Rega Aria mk3? It has both mc and mm options for 1600. When comparing different phono pre amps in the past, somehow I always went back to this one because to me it sounded the most natural, along with a good cartridge of course.
