PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C

Hi.
I'm looking for advice, recommendations and fellow audiogoners with experience with above mentioned phono preamps.

I'm about to put my hands on LENCO 75 NOS and if everything goes well I will receive it in a week or two.

I'm planing to build my own plinth, replace original arm with MG-1 linear arm, and Denon 103R cartridge. Plinth will be probably made with combination of birch ply. and MDF ( it is going to be a massive and heavy plinth finish with high gloss - Ferrari Red paint ). As you can probably see, I can not wait to start this project.

One problem.
I was searching web and reading a lots of threads in order to find the right phono-stage. Now it is a toss up between Hagerman's - Cornet and Wright Sound - WPP200C.

Witch one of these do you think will be my best choice?

Mingles,

As much as I like the Wright, the JLTI just has more resolution, especially in
terms or imaging, layering of images, and separation of instruments. The JLTI
get attack and decay or notes right and captures the tone of natural
instruments better than anything I heard in this price range. The Wright
sounded soft and blurred in comparison. Don't get me wrong, the Wright is
still an excellent phono and compares well to the EAR 834 and many other
phonos I heard.

I sent you an email with some more impressions - I hope that helps.
