I have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP, too. So first thing is you don’t need to spend the $ on a phono preamp with balanced outs because there are no balanced inputs on the PrimaLuna. Since you don’t want to spend a lot of $, I think the bottom of the picks would be the Schiit Mani. Next might be a Simaudio 110LPv2. Other ideas include a used Pass Labs. Not knowing the actual budget, the options are many. But I have owned phono preamps from all of the above companies and have been pleased.

Since I have very few albums, I purchased an inexpensive Hagerman Bugle 3 MM/MC phono preamp. I have it connected to my Gryphon Diablo 300. It sounds very good for it’s price. Low noise level. Very few ticks and pops. Just have to get over the fact that it built inside a plastic case. https://hagerman-audio-labs.myshopify.com/products/bugle3-phono-preamp-mm-mc |
