Used PreAmp around 1000

Hi
I have s turntable (Alphason Sonata, HR100 MCS arm and Garrott P87 MC cell. I already bought a Holborne little phono. Now I need a PteAmp.
I thought about Nuforce P9, CJ PV14 and VTL 2.5.
Which one is the best?
I habe a Job225 and ATC20SL.
Thank you for your guidance and commemts.

I agree that you don't need the gain. The Saga can be used passive or with tube buffer which adds 8dB gain I believe. Thinking about getting one myself.

I thought even with tubes there is no gain. However, it seems one has to take care of the grounding (ground to case connection).

I looked up the Saga specs, Schiit states a gain of 1 (0dB) for both passive and active use. Sorry. Maybe my recollection was for the Freya, will have to go back and look it up.
