Allnic, Manley and Herron are quite common. Interested in what else is out there that is not mentioned often. Good enough performance at the level of entry level Allnic and above. Lamm is great, I know.
+1 on the recommendation for Croft. I'm using a Pear Audio Classic Phono, designed and built by Glenn Croft. It's easily the best sounding MM phono preamp I have ever owned and it plays nicely with all of my SUTs for MC needs.
I would be using MMs for the foreseeable future, good ones. Croft/ Pear Audio, that's interesting, they make excellent turntables - reincarnation of Nottingham. I have Nottingham, by the way.
