Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000

I loved my Musical Fidelity MX VYNL.
It's gonna be really good if you are choosing cartridge above 0.4mV. I sold it only because of my new cart is operating at 0.2mV (Ikeda 9TT). It's upgradeable, full balanced, with excellent sound stage etc. Buy only used. 

The Jolida JD9 is a versatile and solid performer for the money.
